PREVENT
BULLYING
by Vitto Prima
Illustrated by Xavier Andrei
Not only do the
parents, and school
staffs have the
power to prevent
and put an end to
bullying, but you and
everyone else can
also help to
extinguish bullying
or lessen the cases
of bullying.
Let’s discover ways how to prevent bullying:
HELP INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND BULLYING
Help kids or adults, if you may, to understand
what bullying is. Those individuals who have an
understanding of what bullying is can easily
distinguish what bullying is, hence, it can then be
easily brought to light among parents or peers.
INSTILL HEALTHY BEHAVIOR
Kids tend to learn actions from what adults do
and say. By being a good influence on kids, they
too, will practice traits such as kindness and
respect that soon will easily manifest in how
they talk and act, growing up as a well-mannered
adult.
ENGAGE PARENTS
Sadly enough, they may be with you almost all
the time, parents are the ones who are most
likely to recognize when their child is being
bullied. The reason for this could be because
their child is terrified of what could happen and
they might be thinking about how events may
escalate. Like the tip above, posting a story or
posting on different social media platforms can
easily attract parents' attention. With that being
said, they’ll reach out or ask questions or initiate
conversations with their children regarding the
topic.
ENCOURAGE OPEN COMMUNICATION
Research says that children, most of the time, do
look for advice or help from their parents or
guardians in regards to tough decisions.
Communicate well with your kids or friends and
give them some sort of assurance that you are
with them every step of the way, in doing so,
they’ll be more likely to voice out their pains and
stuff alike.
RAISE AWARENESS OF BULLYING
Though this has got to be one of those pieces of
advice that have been repeatedly given over and
over again. The reason for that is because the
situation is unchanging, bullying becomes worse
over time. Though there have been a lot of
improvements, we still have a lot of work to do.
Raising awareness can be just by posting
something that has to do with raising awareness
against bullying in your story, and this can be a
huge help. You can also post on different social
media platforms or offer or reach out to those
who are in need.
