DEFINING BULLYING Help them think through how they can handle situations more positively
There are many different types of bullying but it is typically defined by the following: Give positive feedback for good choices
Many students define bullying as:
kids who have seen someone
The behavior hurts, humiliates or harms another person physically or emotionally
Those targeted have difficulty stopping the action and struggle to defend themselves “when someone makes you feel less EMPOWERING YOUTH
There is a real or perceived social or physical “imbalance of power” about who you are as a person.”
Did you know that adults don’t see most bullying?
The behavior is typically repeated
Bullying often takes place outside the view of adults – in the classroom when the teacher leaves the room, on the playground, on the bus or
online. In order for youth to feel equipped to take action, it is important to empower them as advocates for themselves and others.
DID YOU KNOW…

…the Internet is changing how youth experience bullying? Make a positive difference for themselves and others
Cyberbullying is often defined as an aggressive, intentional act using an online medium, such as email, texting, social media or instant
messages, repeatedly against someone. Three Simple Steps for Promoting Advocacy and Self-advocacy:
I. REFLECT. Encourage your child or teen to think about bullying they have witnessed or experienced. They can describe or write down the
situation – what happened, where it happened, who was involved and how it made them feel.

The club’s success was due in large part to standout employee, Kyle

and when given the opportunity to encourage Planet Fitness members to
contribute to the cause, he did all he could to encourage donations. Kyle
raised nearly $1,200 through the promotion in support of the Boys & Girls
Club. Of Kyle, Team Leader Jake Voelkner said, “What makes Kyle such a
great employee is his unbelievably thoughtful personality … His friendly,
caring attitude is often noticed by members and this is one of the reasons
for his success with donations. Kyle is the type of employee that will do what
