Anti-bullying/Bystander
for all ages K-College

This presentation focuses on how NOT to be a bystander when an individual is a witness to bullying.  Presentations for the younger children, such as K-3rd grade, focus on being a friend and how to be a friend.  For all other grades and ages, we walk through the definitions of bullying and why people bully.  The presentations used for the 4th grade and above also show dramatic and thought provoking videos that give specific examples of how NOT to be a bully or a bystander.  During the presentations for the Middle School and High School and above age groups, the presentations also include a personal story about a suicide due to bullying and a group activity that shows actual student enrollment percentages of suicide based on national statics.  This activity is very eye-opening for the students.
