October 🎃 is Bullying Prevention Month. Bullying is a pattern (happens more than once) of a person being hurt physically or verbally with an unequal balance of power ⚖️. As a reminder: with our Olweus rules, students should tell an adult at school 📚 and at home 🏡 if they are being bullied or they know someone else is being bullied. They should also report issues of conflict or someone being mean, which are still handled, but in a different way.
October 🎃 is Bullying Prevention Month. Dr. Dan Olweus 👨🎓 defines bullying as when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending himself or herself. See more in the image 📸
