Let's Talk About Bullying

 

In our school we believe everyone should feel free and happy. That's why our group decided to talk about something very important: Bullying.

We asked each other questions and shared what we think, because even we are kids our voices matter!

What do you think bullying is?

Isabella: Bullying is when someone keeps hurting another person on purpose. It can be with words, with hands, or by ignoring someone all th time. 

Diego: Is when you make someone feel small or scared, and you don't stop, even if they ask you to.

Mariana: Sometimes bullying doesn't look like hitting. It can be lauhing at someone's clothes or calling them names.

Have you ever seen bullying happpen? What did you do?

Tomas: Yes, i saw a kid getting pushed at line. I told the teacher and she helped stop it.

Ana: One time, someone in my class didn't want to sit next to a girl because sthe said "She smells weird". I sat with the girl and i told her she's not alone.

What to you think we should do to stop bullying in our school?

Martin: Be brave! If you see bullying speak up! Silence helps the bully.

Elena: Teachers should talk more with students about respect. But also, we kids have to choose to be kind.

Ana: We can make a team of "friend helpers" to support anyone who feels lonely and sad.

Mariana: Have fun activities where everyone can feel included. When we know each other we stop judging.

A final message from each of us:

Isabella: "Kindness is cool"

Tomas: "Be the reason someone smiles today"

Elena: "Noone deserves to feel afraid at school"

Martin: "Being different is not a reason to be bullied-it's a reason to be respected".

Ana: "If you see bullying and do nothing you 're letting it grow".

Diego: "Use your words to lift people up, not bring them down".

Mariana: "We are all important. Let's treat each other like this".

We all agree: 

Bullying hurts, and stopping it starts with each one of us. Let's be friends, not bullies!

We say NO to Bullying

 

This week in class, we talked about bullying. We thought it was very impotrtant to do some interviews, to find out what we, the kids, think about this problem. So we interviwed each other and here is what we founded out.

What is bullying to you?

Sofia: Bullying is when someone bothers another person a lot and makes him or her feel bad. It's not a joke, it's very serious.

Lucas: It's when someone hits you, laughs at you, or makes you feel like you're not worth of anything. Sometimes it even happens on the phone and that's called cyberbullying.

Valentina: To me, bullying is when people treat you badly because of how you look or who you are. That's not okay, because we are all different.

Have you ever seen bullying at school? What did you do?

Mateo: Yes i saw once, that a boy laughed at another kid because he talked differently. I told the teacher, because i didn't like it.

Camila: One time a girl didn't want to play with another girl because she said she was "weird". I invited the one who was alone to play with me.

What do you think we can do to stop bullying?

Valentina: Talk to the teachers, talk to our parents, and don't stay quiet if we see someone being bullied.

Lucas: Be good friends and stand up for others. Don't laugh when someone is being made fun of.

Sofia: Make posters and campains with kind messages, like "We are all equal" or "Always be kind".

A final phrase to think about...

Camilia: "Treet others how you would like to be treated"

Mateo: Don't make fun, be the one who helps".

In our class we learned that bullying is something we all need to stop. It doesn't matter if you are big or small-your words and actions always matter. 

We say No to Bullying and YES to Friendship!
