Definition

For Ages 12 to 17:

Bullying means when one person, or a group of persons, targets another person with repeated direct or indirect negative actions over a period of time which are harmful to the target either emotionally or physically. A negative action occurs when a person knowingly inflicts , or attempts to inflict, physical or emotional injury or discomfort upon another person.

For Younger Children:

Bullying is when one child, or a group of children, keep hurting another child through words or actions. Bullying may be hitting, shoving, kicking, name calling; playing dirty tricks, leaving out a child, spreading rumors or doing other mean things.

1. Write about a time at school or on the school bus in which you were bullied.

Bullying is a conflict between two or more children who are not friends and do
not usually hang out together. The bully has more power and does not care about the
target's feelings. The target is upset while the bully is calm and cool. The bully often
blames the target.

2. How does what you wrote fit this definition of bullying?

Students bully in five basic ways:

physical aggression: spitting, tripping, pushing, shoving, etc.
social alienation: gossiping, spreading rumors, excluding from the
group, publicly humiliating, etc.
verbal aggression: name calling, teasing, etc.
intimidation: playing a dirty trick, public challenge to do something,
etc.
sexual bullying - commenting on body parts, calling gay etc.

3. In what ways have you been bullied? Identify which type of bullying occurred.

Ha-Ha-So

Targets can try HA HA SO for dealing with bullies.* Not every one works in every situation.

H Help. Seek help from peers and/or an adult.
A Assert yourself. Look the bully in the eye and tell them to stop. Keep it short.
"I don't like it when you do that, please stop."

H Humor. Respond with a remark to make the bully laugh.
A Avoid. Walk away, stay with others, not alone.

S Self-talk. Put on a tape in your own mind that says nice things to yourself so the bully doesn't get to you.
O Own it. Own the put-down (agree with it) to throw the bully off.

What not to do. Do NOT react emotionally. Don't show strong emotions in front of the bully which will excite the bully more.

4. Using an example of one of the times you were bullied, show how a target could use HA HA or SO:

______________________________________________________

Which HA HA SO do you think would work best?

______________________________________________________

Is there any HA HA SO you should not try in this case?

______________________________________________________

5. Who are the adults you trust and can turn to for help when you are bullied in
school?

______________________________________________________

6. Are there other students in your school who might support you?

______________________________________________________

7. In the most recent situation, how might you have handled it?
