Starting this week, we begin Nation Bully Prevention Month. We\u2019ll<br \/>\nbe focusing on how to recognize bullying, how to refuse to be bullied, as<br \/>\nwell as other related information. Our focus this first week is how to<br \/>\nrecognize bullying. We also want to remind staff and students to wear black<br \/>\non Wednesdays this month to support being a Bully Free School!<\/p>\n<p>What is the difference between Bullying and Conflict?<\/p>\n<p>Bullying happens when someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening, or<br \/>\nleaving someone out on purpose. Bullying is deliberate, repeated over time,<br \/>\nand is a situation in which one person has more power than the other.<\/p>\n<p>Conflict is a disagreement that happens when people want different things.<br \/>\nThe people involved in conflict have equal power to solve the problem. They<br \/>\nare not purposely trying to hurt each other. Bullying is different.<br \/>\nBullying is unfair and one-sided. It happens when someone keeps picking on<br \/>\nsomeone on purpose. The goal of bullying is to make the victim feel scared<br \/>\nor bad about themselves and that is NOT okay. ALl kids have conflicts or<br \/>\ndisagreements that end up in arguing or fighting, that\u2019s different from<br \/>\nbullying.<\/p>\n<p>To help recognize bullying: ask yourself these questions:<\/p>\n<p>Does it continue to happen even though you\u2019ve told the person to stop?<\/p>\n<p>Is the person making you feel scared or bad about yourself?<\/p>\n<p>Does the person have more power or control over the situation than you do?<\/p>\n<p>If you are having a problem with a friend, make sure you are using the word<br \/>\n\u201cbullying\u201d properly and that it is not just a conflict or disagreement that<br \/>\nyou have the power to solve!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to wear black next Wednesday to support being a Bully Free<br \/>\nSchool!<\/p>\n<p>*Another Falcon Time Switch for Grade 7 &#038; 8 *<\/p>\n<p>*Falcon Time Weds. 10\/26, Switch Due to Gr 8 Field Trip*<\/p>\n<p>Our entire eighth grade will be attending a field trip on Tuesday, October<br \/>\n25th.
