You do not have power over me to make me feel bad about myself.

This has been the worst year because teachers do not understand bullying hurts. This has been a rough year because I had to fight for peace. But this has been the best year ever because I finally took up for myself.

We shouldn’t give anyone the ability to rob our children of happiness. Bullying shouldn't be taken lightly. Bullying is a Silent Killer!

I can speak up for myself, but I decided you are not worth my time. You do not have the power to bully me anymore. I know who I am.

I’ve learned to bully doesn’t only involve attacking someone physically or verbally; it is so much more. Bullying consists of invading other people’s property, humiliation, mind games (pretending to be someone’s friend), manipulation, making threats, spreading rumors, showing aggressive behavior, and/or excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Do not stand up against a bully alone.

If your teachers don’t listen, tell someone who you trust. Let them be aware of the situation, regardless of whether or not it is ongoing. Let them know every single time it happens.

Do not ignore being bullied, because it will never stop.

Stand firm, speak up—because silence is not golden, instead, it is deadly. Do not ignore being bullied, because it will never stop.
