anti bullying programs...

9/5/2016

 
Statistics show that approximately half of all children in the U.S. are bullied some time during their school years and that one out of ten children are bullied on a regular basis. This goes to show that bullying is a real (and growing) problem that requires a real solution. Many schools make attempts to educate their students on bullying, but with limited resources and even smaller budgets, often times they are forced to use a teacher, the school guidance counselor, or free online material to get their message across. With the average “Anti-Bullying Assembly” costing around $1,500 it's easy to see why many schools are trying the “do it yourself” approach. The problem is, the kids these days aren’t an easy sell and need to be taught by someone they respect, trust, and believe.

If you are a school administrator and are looking for the right person to conduct an anti-bullying assembly for your school, here are some essentials you should be on the lookout for:

· Someone the kids will perceive as strong, tough, trustworthy, secure, confident, etc.
· Someone who has been bullied and can relate on a personal level--based on experience.
· Someone who can communicate in a language the student can understand and relate to.
· Someone who can soften the content with entertainment that is relevant to the message.
· Someone who ends the message by enforcing the school’s policy and not their own ideas.


Here is a good test you can do; Pretend that you are one of the children sitting in the bleachers for the entire program and that you are a silent victim of bullying. Is this someone you would listen to, trust, and believe in—perhaps to the point of reporting the problem after the assembly? If so, you’ve probably found the right person for the job. If not, you probably need to go back to the drawing board. After all, if you wouldn't buy it...
