Faculty+Resources

= = Typically, faculty only see 15% of bullying which occurs in school. It's your job to stop it when you see it. It's helpful to roam the halls during passing times and to look for strange behavior. If you see bullying stop it. Take it to the principal. The only way to end bullying is to take action and not to tolerate any kind of bullying on any level. It is your responsibility to follow your school's policy for the correct actions to take in response to a bullying incident. Bullies need to be corrected for their actions, there is no warning for actions that are reoccurring.

NEVER ASSUME that:
 * the bullying will dissipate on its own
 * the bullies will mature and stop
 * the bullying will not worsen
 * any child can cope with being a victim
 * parents and other faculty know what to do
 * bullying is normal kid behavior (kids will be kids)
 * if it's not violent, it's not bullying
