Bullying, what is bullying and what are we going to do about it?
Physical, verbal, social, or emotional bullying can cause pain, hurt feelings, or have social
consequences. Bullying occurs whenever one person tries to make another feel scared,
uncomfortable, or inferior. Bullying is done on purpose. A bully mainly chooses a target
and continually tries to make that person feel bad.
Ok, I did a little research. 80% of 4th-8th graders have reported being bullied at school.
Bullying is more common in grades 6-8 than in grades 9 & 10. 15% of students bully regularly.
Bullying is a serious issue that schools must address because all students deserve a comfortable
learning environment. We will begin our annual anti-bullying campaign at Florence Middle
School during the month of February. You will notice and be able to participate in different
projects to show your commitment to having a bully-free school. FMS is taking a stand
against bullying. So let's stop bullying now!
