I want to start an anti-bullying campaign, any advice on where to start?

Question

I have a big family and in the space of two days, two of my sisters became victims of bullying and now they don't want to go to school and my brother has been bullied before in the past.

I want to do something about it but we've already tried most things and nothing seems to work.

What can i do to make a real difference here?

Answer 1

You can start a website, you can also find other people in your age group that are intereted in joining your campaign. I would tell people around your neighborhood and in the schools about what you are trying to do. Also, if your schools are nice enough, maybe you should talk to some of them and see how they would feel about getting public speakers to talk about bullying to the children. You could then search for public speakers on this topic and ask them to come to your schools or you can do the public speaking yourself. You can ask the school coaches if you can inform their athletes, there are so many things you can do.....be creative.......I think you have a real good idea and I love your question. Have a great night!

Answer 2

Their school should by law have an anti-bullying policy,and if not ask why,your sisters must tell the school what is going on they might feel it will be grassing or snitching but it isn't bullying is very wrong, I know lots of schools have the attitude of."Oh bullying doesn't happen at this school,or bullying helps to build character" Bullying does go on and it destroys character.Its time parents started getting tough with schools/teachers/and school governors who just ignore of what is happening in their schools.

If your sisters are walking to and from school,get them to take a different route and with a group of friends if on the bus they should sit near th driver,they should ignore the bullies taunts because the bully wants them to react back. If they have to confront the bully they should use their wit/brains,using their fists is only lowering them self's to the bullies level.

Go to their school and your parents should go to and ask the school firmly what are they going it,are your parents part of the P.T.A? do you known some ones parents who are may be you could ask them to bring up that an anti-bullying campaign is needed and its important, have a list of the reasons why one is needed and the benefits it will have,in their next meeting.

There is a board game called"NO MORE BULLIES" ,that I use with the children who I work with at an out of school which helps children on what to do and how to cope with bullying.and there are books on the subject.

I was a victim to bullies right through my high school years,and because of it my self-esteem has been smashed into a millions of pieces don't let your sisters suffer in silence, unless we all start getting tough to putting a full stop to bullying what sort of future do we all have?

I really hope everything will turn out for your family.

Bullying in any form is not to be tolerate the 1st step that needs to be taken before you set anything up and that's for your sisters and brother to tell the school whats going on and everything that is said needs to be put into writing , if its in writing the school has to deal with, found out what there bullying policy is and how they are implement it. After that you can make a site where kids who are being bully can go and write about what has happen to them ,but you must also need to give them advise on what to do...or it can just be where they can talk to others .. if you try doing it in the school the head may ask you to leave but then again you could found out who the parent govern is and get there help. good luck ( my son was bullied at his school and the head was useless)

Answer 4

Go to a prison and do some articles on what happens to the hard core bullies. Then do the same in a business or University and talk to the ones who were bullied. Try and get some people who regret what they did to talk at the school and describe how there lives turned out. I was bullied at school but most of the people who used to bully me are or have been in prison.

Answer 5

aww you wanna do what i'm doing. nice

well first you can try to post up posters in the school hallways, you can get them for free from kidshelpphone.ca. Then maybe you can get stats about bullying read on your announcements. After that you can try to organize a contest where students submit either videos, music, posters or poems about bullying. And then meybe you should go around to certain classrooms and do a presentation in front of them about bullying (or you could do the whole school in an assembly)

Answer 6

Ask your principal if you can put signs up in the halls stating No bullying will be tolerated. Then as if you can also put on it that bullies will be reported and handled in the principals office. Put different and neat signs up" saying this is a no bully school," "no bullying,"bullying will be reported" I hate when kids bully others and I think the schools should do something about it. If the kids continue bullying your family members go to the police.

Answer 7

Get her started on martial arts like krav maga


www.kravmaga.co.uk (look for one in area)


or ninjitsu as in ninjas.

train them to fight not just to punch and kick but to be strategic, look for weak points, to be sneaky and underhand, how not to freeze up (important) and not take crap...


This will sound strange but rent out the movie


Cool Runnings

And you want to watch it and look for a scene where the ggood too shoes team member is being bullied and the tough one takeds him into the toilet and asks him what he sees

soft guy says'Junior'

tough guy says ' No I see a bad *** motha who dont take no **** from nobody.... no you say it'

Soft guy says it weakly...


tough guy says no say it like you mean it...


and again


and again getting him, fired up, angry, aggressive, wild,


then tough guy drags him back fired up to demand an apolgy from the bullies... no fear... all anger

fight ensues and the kid gives it some gain ing confidence and respect...

With only the technical lessons he would not have the heart to do it.

You need the pyschology as well.


Also to get the kid to be able to hit back hard and not hold back ie grab hair and smack head into desk.



Krav maga by the way is the base for the buffy the vampire slayer series and the martial art of the isreali army, and specail forces MOSSAD and the FBI.

Answer 8

I think this is fantastic,You could start an anti bullying website.We would be the first to join.Kids bully over the most stupid stuff.Most schools focus on bullying.Our school held anti bullying lessons last year.Please feel free to email me.

Answer 9

go with your brothers and sisters to school and tell the bullys to stop ( if you are older than them) and also try putting student council to help you. They'll make it so that it will be a serious school issue. write and persuasive essay. write a letter. tell some high officals ( if things got really out of hand)

Answer 10

I don't know how? but good for you we need more people like you. try asking your local council. would be nice to know where you live. In our village the kids are been bullied by the Headteacher, she shouts terrible at the kids the infant class kids 4yr olds cover their ears. the governors wont listen, the parents are afraid to say something then she will bully the child.
