What is Bullying
The behavior is trying to cause harm or create a unsafe environment for the other person
Purposeful
How can you be an ally to someone who you see sitting on the buddy bench?
Ask them if they want to play with you
Neither mean moment, conflict, or bullying
The “bully” is perceived to have more power in the situation. They could be older or bigger. The unwanted behavior is one-sided, meaning only one person is engaging in the unwanted behavior.
Imbalance of Power
If you stood up for yourself but the other person continues to do what you have asked them to stop, what should you do?
Ask for help

Repeated

Be assertive!
Be specific!
Be an ally!
