What is Bullying? Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves
unwanted, negative actions.
Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time.
Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength.“A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself."
Source: OLWEUS, Bully Prevention Program

Cyber BullyingWhat is it?
◦According to the Cyber Bullying Research Center it is defined as: Willful (deliberate, not accidental) and
repeated (not just an isolated incident) harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices
Imbalance of “power” Typically occurs with adolescents,
however does occur with adults as wellCyberbullying Research Center. (2009) Cyberbullying Fact Sheet. Retrieved November 3,
2010, from www.cyberbullying.us.

Cyber Bullying continued…Most victims refuse to tell an adult
(parent/teacher) – fear of bully finding out
Cyber bullying has been known to be a contributing factor in suicide and suicide attempts
Cyber bullying happens everywhere (US, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Turkey)
Traditional bullies are 2.5 times more likely to also be a cyber bully
Happens to both boys and girls
The Danger of Cyber BullyingCyber bullying can be worse than
in-person bullying because:◦Harm is going on 24/7◦Material can be widely disseminated
and difficult or impossible to remove◦Bully may be anonymous or may
involve others◦Teens are very reluctant to tell adults
about online concerns◦Lack of knowledge of how to stop cyber
bullying

SSA is a nationally researched and recognized program that empowers students to step in during situations of mistreatment within their peer group.
Students are on the front lines of mistreatmentStudents are trained and receive ongoing
support throughout the year. They meet biweekly with students and adult leaders all year.
SSA’S are not know to other studentsThe effectiveness of this program comes from
the subtle actions of our SSA’s. When non-SSA students see their friends stepping in and standing up for others they feel empowered to do it themselves the next time.

consequences)◦ Follow up, if necessary, is done by counselor/dean/ap.

harmed others and on the impact of their behavior.

Every instance of wrongdoing and conflict is an opportunity for learning.

Restorative Justice philosophy.
