How Can I Stop The Bullies At School

How can bullying be stopped in schools?

Involve adults and parents and the PTO!!! Get the guidance counselor in there also. If it's dangerous file a private police report.I can NOT express this enough. Those who are bullied feel they are in a catch-22. If they say something then they have to be concerned about retaliation but if they do nothing they just keep getting bullied. It's a no-win. So get as MUCH visible support as you can and don't be embarrassed about it.In my opinion, we handle the whole bullying situation wrong in this country. We try to get the victims to feel empowered, focusing only on the bully when it comes to doling out punishment.There needs to be a program directed at bullies themselves. A program that helps them understand what behaviors are defined as bullying and to explain to them WHY they bully. Bullies aren't always bad kids. They're kids who are hurting or have a deep-seeded pain that's been turned into anger. They don't understand that the #1 reason they do what they do is because they need to feel superior…but why? They need to understand their own motivations. As kids, they can't do that on their own. We need to show them that there is a safe space for them to express these pains so they don't take it out on others. We need to show them how ugly they are as human beings when they let those inner demons take over. We romanticize physical strength and power in this country. When our very own President is a bully we make it seem like this is ok.While I don't EVER intend to minimize the Victims (with a capital V!), we need to focus more on identifying the internal struggle some of these kids have and then preventing the thoughts that cause them to act out on those struggle BEFORE they occur, not after the victimization has already happened.It only takes one time for a kid to be scared or injured for life. Just one prank gone too far to kill someone. What's the point of having a program when the damage has already been done?

I get bullied in high school for being short, how do I stop this?

Own it.I have a friend who is in middle school and is 4 feet and 6 inches. He isn’t bullied about his height and if someone comment about it and he doesn’t like it, he tells them politely and calmly.I have a friend who is in high school and is about 5 feet and 1 inch. She isn’t bullied about her height because the first time somebody tried something like that she immediately responded with a comment that called the bully out for being a jerkYour height isn’t something you chose. Don’t be ashamed of it. If someone bullies you about it, don’t give them a reaction. If they still continue, ask them to stop in a way that calls them out for repeatedly harassing you. If they still continue, just ignore them. Their opinion doesn’t matter. A lot of people are short and are living life happily. As long as you’re not bothered about your height, other people teasing you about it should be ignored. Most of the time, though, the bully will stop once you call them out.
