36% say they have bullied another person.
Verbal bullying uses put-downs to exclude someone. Sometimes gossip can fall into
this category, but sometimes gossip is simply unkind. Physical bullying is using force
or unwanted touching to hurt or coerce someone. Bullying on social media uses posts
to hurt or exclude someone. It includes making fraudulent posts in someone’s name.
At the end of the survey I reflected on the statistics from our October issue. Only 64% of
people who are bullied actually report it. Some of our results may be influenced by that
statistic. It honestly surprised me how many people said that they have bullied someone
else and have been bullied themselves.
If you see someone being bullied, here are some
things you could do:
➔ Don’t join in. Bullies like an audience.
➔ Stand up for the person.
➔ Tell an adult.
➔ Encourage victim of bullying to tell an adult.
➔ Offer support.
Keep Silver Creek a happy and safe place and reduce
bullying. Always be part of the solution, not the problem!
