  Doug’s Top Ten Antibullying Words

  Ignore
  • Ignore the bully – what he/she is saying and doing
  Walk away
  • Turn your back and walk away
  Support
  • Those who are bullied need to offer support to one another
  Get help
  • Seek the help of adults or persons of authority
  Not fight back
  • Do not fight back or mouth off although it is tempting because that is reinforcing to the bully
  Respect
  • Maintain respect for yourself and for others who are bullied because you don’t deserve being treated that way
  Empathy
  • Offer empathy to someone you see being bullied and stand up for them
  Don’t be a bystander
  Talk it out
  • Discuss your feelings within a group of peers or with an individual you can trust
  Kindness
  • “Kill them with kindness.” If you do something kind for a bully it can take him/her by surprise and hopefully make them look at life a little differently
  Confidence
  • Having confidence in your own strength and ability gives you the courage to turn and walk away from any situation
