Effects on Bullying

![Page 13: Bullying/Harassment Tips & Training for Staff Effective schools are safe schools.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e675503460f94b62cc7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adults as Bullies

in classroom, playground

ORBlames the target for overreacting or not being able
to “take it”
![Page 14: Bullying/Harassment Tips & Training for Staff Effective schools are safe schools.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e675503460f94b62cc7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Adults as Bullies/Bystanders
•When adults bully students, bullying appears to be acceptable behavior.
•When adults overlook bullying behaviors, it appears they condone mistreatment of others (derogatory labels, casual cruelty, “just joking”)
![Page 15: Bullying/Harassment Tips & Training for Staff Effective schools are safe schools.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e675503460f94b62cc7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Role of Adults
• All staff have a strong influence on whether the school culture is a positive or negative environment for students.
• Important to be consistent in identifying undesirable behavior and praising desirable attitudes and actions.
![Page 16: Bullying/Harassment Tips & Training for Staff Effective schools are safe schools.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e675503460f94b62cc7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bullying vs. Peer Conflict
Normal peer conflict implies: • a balance of power, less frequency and lack of real
victim trauma • may not be a “victim” at all in reality as both
parties may feel victimized or “in the right”
What should you do?• allow students to resolve their own conflicts when
and if they can, provide the opportunity to learn important coping skills they need later in life
![Page 17: Bullying/Harassment Tips & Training for Staff Effective schools are safe schools.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56649e675503460f94b62cc7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tattling vs. Telling• If you are telling a teacher because you believe that someone
is really being hurt, you are being a witness.
• If you are telling a teacher because you like seeing someone get in trouble, you are probably tattling.
(especially if you are telling because you are tired of being held responsible for your behavior, and you would much rather have the teacher focus on someone else for a change)

Common Mistakes by AdultsSupervision/Observation Mistakes:1. Not watching and listening for ALL types of bullying• Physical bullying is easiest to see-but not most common• Verbal and Relational bullying require attentiveness-under the
radar, out of eyesight, out of earshot• WATCH-patterns of movement, “herding”, body language
