PEER PRESSURE AND BULLYING

Peer Pressure is when someone around your own age pressures/influences you to do something.

Bullying is aggressive and unwanted behaviour among school aged children that involves a power imbalance. It is repeated, or can be repeated, over time.

EXAMPLES OF NEGATIVE PEER PRESSURE

• You could be asked to smoke becouse it is cool
• You could be asked to steal something to prove that you're cool

EXAMPLES OF POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE

• Others can convince you not to break a rule
• They can convince you to do well academically

HOW TO ACT CONFIDENT

• Stand up straight; this makes this person think you are not afraid
• Look the person right in the eye; this makes the bully afraid of you

HOW TO FIND HELP

• Surround yourself with friends beforehand so you have someone to help
• Go to a teacher and tell him/her about it; they can help and stop the bully
• There are many bullying helplines for kids you can try; They can give good advice

WAYS TO SAY NO WHEN BEING PEER PRESSURED

• Suggest something else to do to get their mind off bad things
• Change the subject. This makes them forget about what they were trying to do
• Ignore the other person. They won't bully you if you don't look like you care

IF OTHERS ARE GETTING BULLIED

• Stick up for the victim and tell the bully to stop
• Go away from the bully and take the victim with you
• Tell an adult

SOME PEOPLE YOU CAN GO TO AT AISR

• you can tell the principal. he can have the bully go to the office
• You can talk to any teacher. They can tell the bully to stop
