What can you and your school do to lessen the impact of bullying?

That's a good question! There is a lot you can do. The first thing you can do is decide for yourself what you feel about bullying. Once you believe that it is wrong, you can take action!

And no, we don't mean beat up the bully. We mean be assertive. Assertive simply means that we stand up for what we believe, while still respecting the rights of others.

Ideas to get you started:

- Motivate your friends to watch for bullying
- Create ambassadors from each clique/group
- Ambassadors create solutions for disagreeing parties
- Ambassadors report (NOT TATTLE) bullying to teachers
- Create a NO BULLY ZONE at your school, with a teachers help
- Make signs to post all over the school with NO BULLYING messages
- Talk to your if you think they might be bullies
- Create a "buddy" system
- Create an anonymous "bullying box" so bystanders can report
