Bullying is a sad reality that has affected many kids. What is more disconcerting about it is that bullying can potentially result in more depressing outcomes such as lowered self-respect, poor academic performance and worse, suicide among kids. Here are a few anti-bullying dos and don'ts for you.
Walk away from a bully and tell an adult. It's OK to be scared and ask for help.
Don't look down when a bully says something. Stand tall and look into the bully's eyes.
Take a moment to calm down before responding to a bully. It's tough to think straight, and recall the stock1)responses you've practised with your parents, if you're in panic mode.
Speak clearly without provoking the aggressor. Say, \"I want you to stop teasing me.\" Then walk away.
Use your best poker face2). The less scared or affected you look, the less the bully will do.
Get between a bully and his/her target. Go stand beside a child who is being bullied. Turn him/her away from the bully, and walk with him/her towards an adult.
Avoid being alone with a bully. Bullying usually happens where adults are not present, so you should avoid empty hallways, bathrooms or areas of the playground with bad sightlines to an adult. Try to sit near the front of the bus, stand near an adult when it is time to line up3), and be near the cafeteria supervisors at lunch time.
欺凌是一個令人悲哀的事實(shí),已經(jīng)對許多孩子造成了影響。更讓人憂心的是,欺凌很可能會導(dǎo)致更加令人沮喪的后果,如自尊心變?nèi)酢W(xué)業(yè)成績差勁,更糟糕的是,還可能會導(dǎo)致一些孩子自殺。以下是為大家準(zhǔn)備的一些反欺凌指南。
從欺凌者身邊走開,將此事告訴大人。感到害怕并尋求幫助這很正常。
欺凌者在說話時,不要向下看,要挺直身板,直視欺凌者的眼睛。
在回應(yīng)欺凌者之前,花一點(diǎn)時間冷靜下來。要做到頭腦清楚地思考是很難,假如你很害怕,就回憶一下你和父母練習(xí)過的那些老套回應(yīng)。
說話要清晰,不要激怒欺凌者??梢哉f:“我想請你不要再取笑我了?!比缓笞唛_。
盡全力做到面無表情。你看起來越不害怕或越不受影響,欺凌者的欺凌行為就會越少。
擋在欺凌者和被欺凌者之間,與正被欺凌的孩子站在一起,帶他/她轉(zhuǎn)身離開欺凌者,并與他/她一起走向一個大人。
避免與欺凌者單獨(dú)相處。欺凌行為往往發(fā)生在大人不在場的時候,因此大家應(yīng)該盡量避開空無一人的走廊、衛(wèi)生間或操場上大人不太能看到的區(qū)域。盡量坐在校車上靠前排的地方,需要排隊時站在大人附近,吃午飯時坐在餐廳管理員的附近。
