                                       For our students. 
                                                 
                                              If you need to speak with your school social worker, you may do the following: 

                                                                    - Ask your teacher for a pass to Student Services.  
                                                                    - Stop by on your way to the lunchroom. 

 "Someone is bullying me."
The difference between someone being rude, someone being mean, and someone being a bully:
Rude = Inadvertently saying or doing something that hurts someone else.
Mean = Purposefully saying or doing something to hurt someone once (or maybe twice).
Bullying = Intentionally aggressive behavior, repeated over time, that involves an imbalance of power. 

When determining if a negative interaction with a peer can be considered bullying, ask yourself if it meets the A, B, C, and D criteria of bullying. 
  • A- Aggressive: The person attacks you physically, socially, or emotionally.
  • B- Balance of Power is Unequal:  The balance of power is usually unequal. For example, they are bigger than you, older than you, or perceived to be more "popular" than you. 
  • C- Consistent:  This has happened more than once over a period of time.
  • D- Deliberate: The person did this with the intent to hurt or harm you. 

Take the following steps to address a peer issue: 
1. Ignore it.
2. If it continues, ask him/her to stop. 
3. If it continues, tell the classroom teacher or supervising adult. 
4. Tell your school Social Worker/Counselor
5. Fill out our online Bullying Referral Report: docs.google.com/a/troy30c.org/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczKl9mdp1cN-YEoIpsduzcghwdhFthcrqVZbEME_ydHYBCQA/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGdPVU10cks0QzdJQ25BeXBncWt3SUE6MA#gid=0
