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!
