intervene.

intervene in bullying incidents, improve
classroom management, and recognize
and reinforce positive behaviors of

others.

during group guidance classes.

Recommendations for
Action Plans in Schools
The topic which should be addressed
first must be about recognizing the
bullying behaviors. The students need to
learn to differentiate bullying from the
usual playful teasing or petty quarrels
by knowing the definition of bullying and
its different forms.

The second topic should be on how to
refuse bullying. Appropriate ways to
handle bullies should be discussed and
demonstrated through role plays in
class.
The last topic should be on reporting
bullying incidents.

the homeroom adviser, subject teacher,
or guidance counselor.
The students must know the necessary
facts or information needed in
reporting a bullying incident so that
proper and immediate action can be
taken by the school authority.

Recommendations for

Studies related to the effectiveness and/or
impact of bullying awareness program can be
conducted in the future.
A case study of students identified as bullies or
victims can also be done to learn more about the
reasons for bullying and its effects to both the
bully and the victim.
Afterwards, appropriate intervention programs
and counseling can be given to them
