- Step 2 - Recognize it is a problem and don't ignore it. Bullying is happening in every elementary school, middle school and high school in the United States – and it's getting worse. Bullying is extremely damaging to the emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing of the person getting bullied and those who see it.

- Step 3 - Act immediately. When you recognize someone is being bullied do something immediately. Don't ever take the attitude "kids will be kids" or "It isn't a big deal".

Step 4 - Remain calm and stay in control.
Intervene, but don't get involved. Don't start arguing with the students. Be respectful and show them what proper behavior is through your example.

Step 5 - Bystanders need to be held accountable.
Anyone encouraging bullying, or egging a bully on, needs to be held accountable. Students have a responsibility to stop bullying and/or report it immediately.

Step 6 - Don't pass judgement in haste.
Make sure to hear all sides of a story before coming to any conclusion or passing judgement. It may be that the person who appears to be the bully may in fact be the bullied student retaliating against the bully.

Step 7 - Seek professional help if needed.
If an incident of bullying is beyond your comfort level or scope of expertise, don't hesitate to enlist the services of a professional or a colleague with more experience.
