Bullying Awareness and Prevention


This week is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week in Peel.  We know it happens. We see it in class, in our hallways, outside or on social media. Someone takes a joke too far and ends up hurting someone, making them feel excluded, put-down or scared. We all have choices. When we choose to laugh, we are part of the problem. When we choose to do nothing, we are part of the problem. We can choose to be a part of the solution by disrupting hate, stereotypes and assumptions.

 How will you #chooseACTION to stop hate?

Eaglettes

Eaglettes will be at 2nd NB today in the gym.

Bullying Awareness and Prevention


Did you know...
1 in 10 Canadian online teens say they have experienced online bullying on social networking sites.
More than 1/3 of Canadian teens with a profile have seen mean or inappropriate comments about someone they know.
14% say they have seen mean or inappropriate comments about themselves on social networks.
90% of Canadians would support a law that would make it illegal to use any electronic means to coerce, intimidate, harass or cause other substantial emotional distress.

What do we need to know about online hate?
Harassing messages, posts and photos can be distributed quickly to a very wide audience and can be extremely difficult to delete once they've been sent or posted.
Because cyberbullying happens online, bullies may not witness first-hand the pain they're causing
Sharing hateful messages ('liking' a post or passing it on) becomes part of the problem NOT the solution
When you see online hate: do not share, block & report it immediately.


You belong here. Hate doesn’t. How will YOU #chooseACTION to stop hate?

Bullying Awareness and Prevention


Did you know…
64 percent of kids have been bullied at school.
12 percent were bullied once a week or more.
13 percent of students reported that they bullied other students regularly.
72 percent observed bullying at school.
But only 40 percent of students said they ever tried to intervene.
Did you know that you have the power to make it all stop?
In majority of cases, bullying stops within 10 seconds when peers intervene or do not support the bullying behaviour. How will you take action to disrupt hate? What strategies will you use to help?


 We are asking each class to create a #ChooseAction pledge.  We look forward to seeing what your pledge is!

Bullying Awareness and Prevention week


Good morning,



Today marks the beginning of Bullying Awareness and Prevention week. Our theme this week is: #chooseACTION to STOP hate.


Will you stand up when you hear someone making a joke that is hurtful? Will you look out for someone who needs a friend? Will you find a way to make someone feel better, and intervene if you see or hear someone making somebody feel worse? We all have choices. We can choose to laugh. We can choose to look away. Or we can choose action. Refuse to stay silent and use your voice to disrupt hate. You belong here. Hate doesn’t. How will YOU #chooseACTION to stop hate?


Here is a link to a video you can watch with your class:
