WHAT IS BULLYING?
According to the stopbullying.gov website, bullying is the unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
Do you know anyone who has been a victim of bullying? In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include:
• An imbalance of power: kids who bully use their power such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity, to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time, and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.
• Repetition: bullying behaviors happen more than once, or have the potential to happen more than once According to www.dosomething.org. here are some facts about bullying:
1. Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year.
2. 1 in 4 teachers see nothing wrong with bullying and will only intervene 4 percent of the time.
3. Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying.
4. 1 in 7 students in grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying.
5. 56 percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.
6. Over two-thirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of students believing that adult help is infrequent and ineffective.
7. 71 percent of students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school.
8. 90 percent of 4th through 8th graders report being victims of bullying.
9. 1 out 10 students drop out
