Hey there, amazing people! I'm grateful for your time and courage to read through this. I'm here to chat about something pretty real that many of us have experienced or are currently dealing with - bullying. Almost 1 in 5 of us have had to face some form of it, and that's not cool, right? But fear not, my friends, I'm here with some practical tips to help you stand strong and navigate this tricky terrain.

So, what's bullying? It's when someone repeatedly hurts, picks on, ridicules, spreads rumors about, demeans, or threatens another person on purpose. It's not a one-time deal, it keeps happening, and it can take on four main forms - physical, social, verbal, and cyberbullying.

If you're being bullied right now, I want you to remember that you've got the power to take control of your life. Here are some strategies you can consider, and remember, it's your choice to use them or not.

You could try waiting it out, hoping that the bully would get tired and move on. I've been there, and it's a tough place to be, but sometimes it works. Or, you could avoid people and places where the bullying tends to happen. It's not the best strategy, but it can give you some peace.

Ignoring and walking away are also options. Bullies often just want a reaction, so not giving them one can sometimes stop their actions. Using humor can also help, it can take the wind out of their sails and help you regain some control.

The buddy system is always a good idea. There's strength in numbers, and bullies are less likely to target a group.

But if you're ready to take a more active role against the bullying, consider telling someone. This could be a parent, a sibling, a teacher, or a school counselor. You're not snitching – you're seeking help to better your situation.

Speaking up is also an option. You can directly tell the person who's mistreating you to stop, and remember to do it in a calm and confident manner.

But no matter what, you've got to stay in the game. Don't let the bullies keep you from growing personally, socially, and academically.

Just remember, you're the author of your life. Their words or actions don't define you. Keep growing, keep trying, and most importantly, keep being awesome. Only positive vibes from here on out, my friends!

Hi there, I'm Iuri Melo and today I'm addressing a serious issue - bullying. It's important to remember that bullying is not a one-time thing. It happens repeatedly and can affect nearly 1 in 5 of us. Bullying can be physical, social, verbal, or even carried out online (cyberbullying). If you or anyone you know is being bullied, there are several steps you can take:

1. Wait it out: Sometimes the bullying stops on its own when the bully loses interest.
2. Avoidance: Stay away from people and places where bullying tends to occur.
3. Ignore and walk away: Bullies often thrive on reactions. By ignoring them, you might discourage their behavior.
4. Use humor: A little humor can diffuse the situation and take away the bully's power.
5. Use the buddy system: There's strength in numbers, so try to stay with friends or groups to deter bullies.
6. Tell someone: Speak up about the bullying to someone you trust.
7. Speak up: Confront the bully directly using calm and confident language.
8. Stay involved and invested: Continue to grow and evolve, don't let the bullying stop you from pursuing your life.
9. Self-definition: Don't let the bully's words define who you are. You are the author of your life.

Remember, it's important to elevate others, not demean them. Always let positive gossip come out of your mouth. Stay brave, intelligent, and hopeful.

Role-play Situations and Responses to Bullying

1. As a group, take a few moments to discuss the different types of bullying discussed in the video. (2 minutes)

2. Divide the class into smaller groups of 4-5 students. Each group will be given a scenario of a type of bullying: physical, social, verbal, or cyberbullying. (1 minute)

3. Each group will then role-play their given scenario. It's important to remember that we're doing this in a respectful, sensitive manner. The goal is to understand the situation and how it feels, not to make anyone uncomfortable. (1 minute)

4. After the role-play, each group will discuss and decide on the best way to respond to the bullying scenario based on the tips provided in the article. They should consider strategies like using humor, the buddy system, telling someone, or speaking up. (2 minutes)

5. Each group will then role-play the scenario again, this time incorporating the chosen response strategy. (1 minute)

6. Finally, come together as a class and each group will share their scenario, their chosen response, and any thoughts or feelings that came up during the role-play. (2 minutes)

This activity should provide a safe space for us to explore the difficult topic of bullying and empower each of us with strategies to effectively respond to bullying. It's important to remember that everyone's feelings and experiences are valid and respected in this space.

Begin by watching the video "I'm being bullied. What can I do?" carefully. Discuss the main points and insights of the article.

After reading, pick out several of the suggested phrases that can be used when someone is being bullied. For example:

• "Why are you being mean and rude? I don't like it at all. I wish you would stop."
• "Dude, I don’t like being treated this way, please stop."
• "Do you realize that what you’re doing is not ok, or cool in any way? Leave me alone."
• "I don’t know why you’re doing this, but I want it to end now."

Now it's time to role-play. Pair up with a parent, sibling, or guardian. One person will play the role of the person who is being bullied and the other will play the role of the bully. The person being bullied will use the phrases picked out earlier to respond to the "bully."

Practice different scenarios and responses. Remember, the goal is not to engage in an argument with the bully, but to assertively and confidently express that the bullying behavior is not acceptable.

After the role-play, discuss how it felt to stand up against the bullying behavior. Talk about the emotions and challenges that came up.

Finally, discuss the importance of seeking help when facing bullying. Remember, it's not snitching or tattling. It's about ensuring everyone's right to a safe and respectful environment.
