Students are being bullied!

953 participated in the survey, October 2010.

106 students report being bullied several times weekly.

106 students is equivalent to each below:

4 full classes of students, almost 3 full buses, 2 football teams, more than 10 basketball teams, 2 middle school bands, and about the whole 5th grade at Shady Grove!

Page 13: Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

50 students actually admitted to verbally bullying others intending to cause harm, several times monthly.

17 students admitted that they regularly bully others physically, several times monthly.

265 students (171girls, 94 boys) FEAR coming to school on any given day because of bullying.

Page 14: Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

What are YOU doing to help?

Of the 953 students who participated in the survey, 833 said they feel sorry and want to help when they see someone being bullied…

…however ONLY 26 students reported that they’ve seen students regularly try to stop bullying, or help in another way.

Page 15: Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

Attitudes About Bullying

111 students reported that they “don’t feel much” or that the victim “probably deserves it”

295 students reported that they would, might, or are not sure, when asked if they would join the bullying of a student they did not like.

Page 16: Olweus Bullying Prevention Program

What would change if we shut the bullies down?

Attendance rates would improve

All students could learn

Students would not fear WMS

Pain, suffering, sadness, and discipline would decrease

We could embrace, befriend, and learn from “different” people!

More? What do you think?
