Anti-Bullying Pledge for Students
PEERS Program – Dr. Lisa Kovach
We the students of
___________________________________ agree to join
together to stamp out bullying at our school.
We
believe that everybody should enjoy our school
equally, and feel safe, secure and accepted
regardless of color, race, gender, popularity,
athletic ability, intelligence, religion and
nationality.
Bullying can be
pushing, shoving, hitting, and spitting, as well as
name calling, picking on, making fun of, laughing
at, and excluding someone. Bullying causes pain and
stress to victims and is never justified or
excusable as “kids being kids,” “just teasing” or
any other rationalization. The victim is never
responsible for being a target of bullying.
By
signing this pledge, we the students agree to:
1. Value student
differences and treat others with respect.
2. Not become
involved in bullying incidents or be a bully.
3. Be aware of the
school’s policies and support system with regard to
bullying.
4. Report honestly
and immediately all incidents of bullying to a
faculty member.
5. Be alert in
places around the school where there is less adult
supervision such as bathrooms, hallways and
stairwells.
6. Support
students who have been or are subjected to bullying.
7. Talk to
teachers and parents about concerns and issues
regarding bullying.
8. Work with other
students and faculty, to help the school deal with
bullying effectively.
9. Encourage
teachers (or Lisa Kovach) to discuss bullying issues
in the classroom.
10.
Provide a good role model for younger students and
support them if bullying occurs.
11. Participate
fully and contribute to assemblies/presentations
dealing with bullying.
I
acknowledge that whether I am being a bully or see
someone being bullied, if I don’t report or stop the
bullying, I am just as guilty.
