STRIKE OUT BULLYING PLEDGE
I am a Junior Giant. I pledge to Strike Out Bullying by:
- Respecting my teammates, coaches, family and friends.
- Giving up put-downs.
- Standing up for what is right.
- Treating others the way I would like to be treated.
- Praising people and helping others.
- Showing my friends that a bully-free life is more fun.
Respect starts with you.
STRIKE OUT BULLYING CONTEST
The Strike Out Bullying Contest is an opportunity for you to artistically express the Strike Out Bullying theme: "All Different, All Giants." Being different isn't a bad thing-it's something that should be celebrated! Your background, your culture, your interests are what make you unique! Please refer to your Strike Out Bullying Contest entry form for more information.
WHAT IS BULLYING?
Bullying is when one person or a group of people scare or hurt someone else over and over again. Bullying is often done on purpose and it can happen anywhere, such as at school, in the park, on a sports team or even at home. There are many types of bullying.
- Leaving someone out of group activities on purpose.
- Giving someone the "silent treatment."
- Making fun of someone for being "different."
- Name-calling, teasing, gossiping and/or spreading rumors.
- Threatening and scaring others.
- Hitting, punching and shoving.
- Cyberbullying - Using the Internet, social media, text messages and/or email to hurt others.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I SEE SOMEONE BEING BULLIED?
Although you may not be directly involved in the bullying, there may be times when you see others being bullied. Even though it may be easier to stand by and watch, here's how you can make a difference:
- Stand up for the victim.
- Don't join in on bullying.
- Stop the rumors.
- Tell an adult.
