This week we worked on What would you do if you saw someone being bullied? There were a lot of good comments, but our practice was on speaking the words “In our school we do not treat people like that.” These are not easy words to get out, especially in front of your friends. Hence the reason we must practice them. So we did some role play with our students.
What do you think? There are many ways of reacting, this is just one. The most important one is being careful not to go along with the aggressor by taking part in making fun of another person or laughing at them when others are making fun of them. Start with that – but then find the courage to step up and say – In our school we don’t treat people like that.
