1. Define Bullying
Start by teaching the definition of bullying. Many students have trouble with the basics of understanding what bullying really is. They may oversimplify and over-label everything as bullying or they may not know when something is serious enough to be called bullying. Our materials can help you define the 4 types of bullying and give examples of each.
2. Talk About What to Do
Once your high school students know what bullying is, teach them how to respond in a way that is safe and de-escalates the situation. We strive to find the balance between taking action and not escalating it into a bigger problem. Teach your students to be “upstanders” or people who notice bullying and take action like speaking to an adult and checking in with the victim to show kindness and support.
3. Walk Through Practice Scenarios
Use our free printable bullying worksheet with 8 question prompts to help start meaningful discussions with your high school students. Discuss how there is no right or wrong answer to these, but many ways to deal with these difficult situations. Most of all, we want to teach our students that they are not alone and to spread kindness whenever they can.
