School Bullies: "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts" to Help Make Them Stop

Paula McCoach

I'm "all for" the advice in this article. Personally, I think it's unfair that bullies would be allowed to attend events, special occassions and field trips etc. They certainly do not deserve these special rewards especially when they are designed for those kids who have worked so had over the school year - for whom should be allowed to enjoy them without the fear of the person that bullies them stessing them out and abusing them - either physically or verbally. As a child I was bullied during physical education. I loved running (I excelled in it) but team sports became a problem for me - in between the clicky mean groups and school bullies - an activity that was one of my favourites at school soon became something that would upset me so much I would feel like throwing up. I wish I had've had someone at school to speak with about this -- like so many schools are implementing now. For more information on School Bullies visit...Stop-Bullies.com

School Bullies: Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts!

School bullies never seem to stop! Sometimes you have to “hit ‘em where it hurts” as we say!

So you have made a dent in the bullying at your school! Congrats.

But, you still have a hard core of 5-10%25 of the bullies that you are trying to reach.

Most schools have special events. One effective way to subdue bullies for a short time at least is to bar them from special events if their bullying behavior does not improve.

Field trips are a common event. Bullies love field trips because there is unstructured time where they can do their thing. Bullies can be easily eliminated from field trips or, worse yet, their parents can be required to attend the trip with them.

And, oftentimes their parents bully them!

Bullies should be removed from special assemblies, especially end-of-the year assemblies that are fun and rewarding for the students. I feel that in this situation, the students who have earned awards and behaved well all year, deserve a nice assembly where bullies are not harassing them.

Bullies should not be allowed to attend Field Day where students are celebrating the end of the year and having fun. Again, this is an unstructured situation where they can do some damage, and the other kids deserve to have some fun and celebrate.
