Anti-Bullying @ St James'

What is bullying?

In our school a bully is someone who hurts someone more than once, deliberately using behaviour which is meant to hurt, frighten or upset another person.  

Bullying can be…

Emotional: Hurting people's feelings, leaving you out, making you feel bad.

Physical: Punching, kicking, spitting, pushing, theft.

Verbal: Being teased, name calling, being rude.

Racist: Calling you racist names, graffiti.

Cyber: Saying unkind things by text, email, social media.

When is it bullying?

Remember some things you say to someone may be said to try and be funny but it may be hurtful to that person.

Think before you speak!
