October is Bullying Prevention Month
While every day is bully prevention day, we make a point in October to talk about all we can do to stand up for our friends and classmates. Think about this:
Bystander: someone who sees bullying happening but does not do anything to stop it.
Upstander: someone who does something that prevents or reduces the bullying they see. An upstander comes to the aid of another person who is being bullied by showing them kindness.
Bystander vs. Upstander: Bullying Recovery Resource Center
Here are some ebooks on Bullying Prevention that we have as part of Cameron’s Collection.
Take care of each other out there!
