Be an Upstander; Not a Bystander
As we are in Back-to-School season, this month we have been discussing with our students "Bullying." In addition to understanding what is bullying, this week we focused on what to do when we see bullying occurring.
Sadly, when most people see bullying (even as adults!), they stand by and do nothing - they become Bystanders. By allowing it to happen, we are encouraging it to continue.
Instead, we teach the students to be UPstanders. We need to stand UP for those being bullied, and take action!
Over the next few posts, we will be talking about the three action steps to being an UPstander:
1) Get there first!
2) Step in and take charge!
3) Leave and report!
Stay tuned!
