Did you know that 43% of kids have been victim to cyberbullying, but 58% of them have not told their parents?
Did you know that children now spend more time with the media via Internet and mobile technology than they do with their family, in school, or sleeping. A 2012 a nationwide survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that in just five years, media use has increased from 6 ½ to nearly 7 ½ hours a day in children between the ages of 8 and 18. As if this weren’t frightening enough, children also tend to be master multitaskers, using as many as three technological tools at once to browse through their digital lives.
Students: How to Stop a Bully
Akira from Japan
​
When someone tries to bully you, it is scary. Here are some things
you can do if you are being bullied by another student.
First, try not to be afraid if a bully bothers you. Why? A bully likes to bully people who are afraid of him, so try not to show the bully that you are
scared of him.
Second, try to make friends. That is the best way to stop a bully. Why? A bully likes to bully people who are alone. If you are always with friends, he will
probably ignore you.
Third, work with other students to stop the bully. Why? You need to work
together to stand up to the bully and show him that no one likes him when he bullies.
Fourth, if you see a bully attack another student, help that student. Support
him and ask him to join your group. Why? This will help him, and it will also help make your group strong.
Finally, when someone bullies you, tell people you are being bullied. Tell your friends. Tell adults like your parents and your teachers that you are being bullied. Why? This may make the bully worried and he may
stop bullying.
If you do these things, you will enjoy school more.
