1. Build Relationships

Include others who are regularly excluded from social situations. Show empathy to others, even those outside your circle of friends and family.

2. Tell

If you feel safe, tell the bully that this is not okay, try asking a friend to stand with you in advance. Report bullying to a trusted adult.

3. Be a Leader

Don’t join in if you see someone bullying another person. Be an “activist”, partner with others to improve how people treat each other.

4. Be Assertive

Calmly say “no” to disrespectful behavior. State what you want in a strong, factual tone of voice.

5. Stop & Think

Before you speak, check your own language. Before you tease someone, stop and ask yourself, “how would I feel if I were him or her?”
