McKinley School Weekly Update
October 3, 2022
There's no room for bullies in 2022!
National Bullying Prevention Month is an annual designation observed in October. It’s always important to talk about the dangers of bullying and the trauma it can bring to its victims. This month, use your voice to speak up extra loud. Say "no" to bullying.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Take a stand against bullying. Spread the word about the negative effects bullying can and has caused. If you want to do what’s best for your community, here are some great steps you can take to help stop bullying.
- Learn more about the issue. The more informed and better educated you are, the better you can make an impact.
- Practice what you preach. Children mock what they see, so be a good role model for the little ones around you.
- Talk to your kids. Ask them about experiences at school, and make sure they feel comfortable and know they can always come to you if something happens.
- Monitor what your child does online. Right now, cyberbullying is the fastest-growing type of harassment amongst young people.
- Form a group in your community or school system that stands for bullying prevention. Some good sources of support for this may be local businesses, PTA’s, local government, and service clubs in your area.
