Be an Upstander - Prevent Bullying (from The NED Show)


Be a Buddy     Interrupt and help a friend to safety    Speak Out    Tell 
In our first and second grade classes this week we are studying the difference between rude, mean and bully behavior we may display or see in others.

  • Rude:  Inconsiderate, thoughtless, unplanned  behavior, bad manners, only thinking about yourself, not meant to actually hurt anyone


  • Mean:  Saying or doing something on purpose to hurt someone, maybe once or twice, usually in anger


  • Bullying: on purpose, repeated over time and involves an imbalance of  power (physical, verbal, emotional, and cyber)
