We were going to make this post last week, however we decided to post about our Google experience while we were at the conference.
NBCDES staff all wore pink t-shirts on February 25 to recognize and support this cause.
Bullying comes in many different forms such as physical, emotional and cyber. Anyone can be a victim of bullying. It is important to take action if you are a bystander.
Erasebullying.ca states that "Research shows that bystanders can effectively stop bullying within 10 seconds of an intervention - so, what are you waiting for?"
Ways to take action if you are a bystander:
- make it clear to your friends that you will not participate in bullying behavior
- never stand by and watch or encourage someone being bullied
- don't harass tease or gossip about others (this includes on internet and social media)
- never forward or respond to message of photos that may be offensive or hurtful
- support the person who is being bullied to ask for help (find a trusted adult)
- be a friend
- report bullying to someone you trust
