Policy Change
Over 67% of students believe that schools respond
poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of
students believing that adult help is infrequent and
ineffective.
Also, 1 in 4 teachers see nothing wrong with
bullying and will only intervene 4% of the time.

According to the National Education Association,
there are ten steps to help prevent bullying in
schools
Ten Steps:
1. Pay attention. There are many warning signs that may
point to a bullying problem, such as unexplained
injuries, lost or destroyed personal items, changes in
eating habits, and avoidance of school or other social
situations.
2. Dont ignore it. Never assume that a situation is
harmless teasing. Different students have different
levels of coping; what may be considered teasing to
one may be humiliating and devastating to another.
3. When you see something do something. Intervene
as soon as you even think there may be a problem
between students. Dont brush it off as kids are just
being kids. Theyll get over it.
