During September 29-October 3rd, kids and adults are being encouraged to join the “I Speak Up” campaign sponsored by the Cartoon Network. It is the annual challenge to stand up to bullying. It is hoped that one million people will to make a video stating just three words, “I Speak Up” and upload their recordings to their site. Go here to learn more. National Bullying Prevention Month is in October but should be practiced every day of the year.
Discussion Questions:
What is your definition of a bully? What are some examples of bullying?
Why do you think some people are bullies?
If you see someone being bullied, what could YOU do?
If YOU are being bullied, what could YOU do?
Have you ever been bullied? How did you feel? What did you do?
Have YOU ever bullied someone else? Have you ever been asked by others to join them in bullying someone else? How did you react to this?
I have compiled lots of resources for classroom teachers to use on this topic. Go to this link.
