This colorful infographic displays useful information about student bullying, while providing astonishing current U.S. stats. This chart taught me more about bullying in classrooms in a few minutes than I've learned in the past few months! The fact that every seven minutes a child is bullied is a statistic I can't and won't ignore.

I think this a a great for percents and it has much of the information that you need in order to make a great persuasive essay. It tells you what bullying does and which ways they can bully you. It says who are the ones being bullied and how many people in the world do something about it.

An Anti-Bullying Poem Comes to Life

Beth Dichter's insight:

This amazing spoken word poem was written by Shane Koyczan to "to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual." The video was brought to life by "animators and motion artists [whom] brought their unique styles to 20 second segments."

Erin Ryan's curator insight, October 24, 2015 5:53 PM

We use Olweus Bullying Prevention program in our region. It is a school and district wide effort to end bullying, promote healthy peer relationships, and to help students deal with bullying. The program teaches students through frequent class meetings. Videos and discussions are used to help students problem solve through those tough situations they encounter at school. Elementary students make pledges to their school communities in regards to not watching or letting bullying happen, treating others nicely, not talking badly about others, etc. The conversations are a bit more in depth at the middle and high school levels. The goal is to provide children of all ages with  tools and strategies to help them deal with bullying, whether they are being bullied or are witnessing it. In our schools, we have yet to survey students since implementation so the impact of the program is yet to be foreseen. What is clear, is that schools must do something to proactively prevent bullying. Consequences for bullying should be clearly stated in handbooks with parents and students understanding the seriousness.

although this is not a "traditional" article, it does touch base on an important topic; bullying. one in four kids are bullied every month in the US. this article contains various statistics about bullying such as prevention, consequences, methods of bullying, and so on. this gives insight on how to notice bullying and how to tackle it. statistics show that "35.5% of students believe schools can help prevent bullying". The author stood true to its title and gave tips on how to battle bullying as a teacher, Things to remind students to do when they are around bullies… Speak up against bullying. Say something like, “stop it.” Walk away. Act like you do not care, even if you really do. Tell an adult you trust. They may have ideas about what you can do. Stick together. Staying with a group might help." Sometimes it is hard to speak to someone about bullying with an adult but if teachers made themselves "friendlier" and more open, I'm sure more and more kids would open up about their struggles in school.
