Great class discussion categories.

 

TELL AN ADULT:

Discuss further safe environment alternatives and why we need to intervene.

BALANCE APPROACH:

When someone says something negative about a person you reply with a positive comment about that person.

CONSEQUENCE APPROACH:

When a person maybe thinking of doing something that is wrong (ex. posting a bad picture or threatening to beat someone up), as a friend you give them consequences of what might happen if they follow through with their actions.

BEFRIEND: When a bystander goes up to the victim and asks them to join them for lunch- to help build their self-esteem. Bullies like to pick on students who have no friends.
