Anti-Bullying Awareness
Sixty bullying behaviors you should
recognize to prevent bullying
Behavior examples below are
paraphrased from
The 7 Habits of Highly
Successful Teens
by Sean Covey
|
DEFINITION: The definition of bullying is unwelcome behavior by
a student that is directed against a student or group of students which is
found to be intentional (on purpose) or repeated over time; intended to
ridicule (put down), humiliate (embarrass); or is meant to be physically or
emotionally harmful.
|
INSTRUCTIONS: One student at a time will read each
bullying behavior from the table below aloud in class. All students will read
along with the class and be ready to participate if called upon. Place an
ÒXÓ into each box next to the behavior to show that you understand what it
means and can recognize it if you see it in the future. Students may say ÒSTOPÓ if there is something
they whish to say about this topic, or if they have a question about the
meaning. Some words and ideas are above grade-level, so we will discuss
difficult terms and vocabulary as needed.
You may copy and
paste the table below into Word and save the document as Anti_Bullying.

Important Information About Bullying

Recognizing bullying behavior and knowing what to do if you see it is
important if you want it to stop. The Haverford School has an official Bullying Policy posted online at www.haverford.org. Students should understand
that the Bullying Policy is designed to protect them, but that the policy is
most effective when all of the guidelines and procedures are followed.

who witnessed the bullying should report it by telling at
least two adults – a teacher and someone at home.
Teachers who
witness bullying should ask students involved to ÒSTOP.Ó
Teachers with information about bullying at school will begin a mediation
process and contact the parents of students involved.
Parents who have information about bullying should
find out if their son if asked the other student to ÒSTOP,Ó and if he notified a teacher. After asking
their sonÕs these questions, parents should contact their sonÕs teacher.
