Life Skills & Value Education – CLASS-III – Unit 5. BULLYING

Bullying is the action of humiliating or embarrassing others physically or verbally on a regular basis. Bullying does not refer to physical actions alone; it can be done through words too. Bullying is of two types: Physical Bullying and Verbal Bullying.

Physical Bullying includes

• Takes pleasure in making you feel hurt, uncomfortable, or afraid.
• Tells all around you not to talk to you or play with you.
• Kicks, pushes, or punches you, or physically hurts you on purpose.
• Keeps troubling you by taking or damaging your things.
• Repeatedly says or writes nasty and cruel things about you.

Verbal Bullying includes

• Teasing somebody who wears spectacles by calling names.
• Teasing somebody who may have a physical deformity, like a limp or a stammer.
• Saying unkind things to a student who comes from a poor family.
• Passing mean comments or calling a fellow student who does not do well in studies a ‘duffer’ or a ‘failure’.

Bullies bully for different reasons

• They feel that those they bully lack courage and will never fight back.
• They feel they are being very “smart” when they do it.
• They may not be as good as you and, hence, are jealous of your achievements.
• They are kids who are spoilt and used to having their way.
• They themselves get bullied at home and so they bully others who are weaker than them in school.

Rules

We promise to:

• Tell a teacher when you see bullying.
• Reach out to those who are bullied.
• Not join in when others are bullying.
• Be a friend to who is being bullied.
