Bully-Free Schools
Bullying has no place in our schools
The purpose of the Christina School District Bully-Free Schools Initiative is to heighten awareness around the issue of bullying and to promote a safe learning environment for all students. The initiative includes professional development, sharing of research-based information, recommendations and interventions, and activities for administrators, staff, students, and parents.
What is Bullying?
- Aggressive behavior that is intentional and involves an imbalance of power and strength
- Physical or psychological intimidation that occurs repeatedly over time
- Bullying can be direct (i.e., taunting, hitting, or stealing); boys are most often overt bullies
- Bullying can be indirect (i.e., Spreading rumors or exclusion); girls are most often indirect bullies
Types of bullying can be broken down into four main categories: physical, verbal, relationship, and cyber.
