You may be a bystander

85 percent of bullying incidents are witnessed by other students, according to research by the Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention at the University of Buffalo. Despite this, many cases are not addressed, as 28 percent of MVHS students who have witnessed bullying did not intervene according to the October 2013 El Estoque survey. A recent i-SAFE survey found that, in 85 percent of bullying cases, teachers or administrators do not make an effort to stop the bullying. As a peer, you have the power to help out the victim(s). Possible courses of action are reporting the incident to a teacher or another adult, consoling the victim(s) after the incident, or taking the side of the student(s) being bullied. Even if you are unsure about whether the victim wants you to intervene, it is important to show them your support in anyway possible. By not reporting the incident or intervening, the bully goes untouched and the victim is at risk of future acts of bullying.

You may be a victim

If you feel you are the subject of constant bullying it is important to take action. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and report the incident to a parent, teacher or other school employee. There are multiple support systems available to MVHS students, including student advocate Richard Prinz, Peer Counseling Club and any MVHS faculty members. If you don’t feel comfortable telling someone about the details initially, try writing down how you feel or what you are concerned about or consider seeking help through an anonymous hotline. If you feel like you are bullied about your grades, as 30% of students believe bullying is about at MVHS, according to the October 2013 El Estoque survey, remember that your peers aren’t entitled to know your performance at school and it is okay to keep information private.
