Here are some other strategies to discuss with kids about Bullying that can help improve the situation and make them feel better:
1. _______________________________________ Use a different bathroom if a bully is nearby and don't go to your locker when there is nobody around. Make sure you have someone with you so that you're not alone with the bully. Be always with a friend on the bus, in the hallways, or at recess — wherever the bully is. Offer to do the same for a friend.
2. _______________________________________ It's natural to get upset by the bully, but that's what bullies thrive on. It makes them feel more powerful. Practice not reacting by crying or looking red or upset. It takes a lot of practice, but it's a useful skill for keeping off of a bully's radar. Sometimes kids find it useful to practice "cool down" strategies such as counting to 10, writing down their angry words, taking deep breaths or walking away. Sometimes the best thing to do is to teach kids to wear a "poker face" until they are clear of any danger (smiling or laughing may provoke the bully).
3. _______________________________________ Firmly and clearly tell the bully to stop, then walk away. Practice ways to ignore the hurtful remarks, like acting uninterested or texting someone on your cell phone. By ignoring the bully, you're showing that you don't care. Eventually, the bully will probably get bored with trying to bother you.
4. _______________________________________ Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom personnel at school can all help stop bullying.
5. _______________________________________ Talk to someone you trust, such as a guidance counselor, teacher, sibling, or friend. They may offer some helpful suggestions, and even if they can't fix the situation, it may help you feel a little less alone.
6. _______________________________________ If the bully is demanding your lunch money, start bringing your lunch. If he's trying to get your music player, don't bring it to school.
