Bullying Unit

Our next unit in Health is about Bullying. We have discussed that

Bullying is:

Being mean to others, on purpose to hurt them or their feelings

Bullying Behavior is:

On purpose; more than once; is unfair or one-sided

We will be talking about why people bully, bullying behaviors, normal conflict and conflict resolution ( I -messages) and bully prevention.

I look forward to having some very interesting discussions in this unit.
