Bullying takes many forms including teasing, threatening, spreading rumors, and physical harm. Being bullied makes children feel powerless and alone. Some bullies want attention or popularity, while others feel superior. Though reasons may vary, bullying is always wrong and hurts both the victim and bully. Witnesses should tell an adult instead of joining in or staying silent.

Bullying: What It is and


What To Do About it 
DIRECTIONS: Write a one sentence summary of each paragraph on 
the lines below. 

Bullying means to be mean to another kid again and again. Bullying can take many forms. It can be 
teasing, threatening to hurt someone, telling lies about someone, not including others in order to make 
them feel bad, or it can be actually yelling at or hitting someone. Bullying can also take place over 
through text messages or emails, or by posting rumors on sites like Facebook, passing around 
embarrassing pictures or videos.  
Being bullied makes kids feel different, powerless, unpopular and alone. It can be difficult to stand 
up for yourself when you are being bullied. The bully seems more powerful than you are. Being bullied 
can lead to feeling sick or having problems at school. It can even lead some kids to want to be a bully 
themselves. 
There are a lot of reasons why kids bully other kids. Some want to copy their friends. Some think 
that being a bully will make them respected by other kids, or make them popular. Sometimes bullies 
think that they are better than their victims, and so they bully other kids to prove it.  
No matter what the reasons behind it, or what form it takes, bullying is wrong. Bullies use power to 
hurt people. Bullies might use physical strength. They might use popularity or being smart. Or they may 
use secrets that they know about to hurt other kids. And bullying isn’t just bad for the kid being bullied. 
It’s bad for the bully too. Kids who are bullies often grow up to have problems like using alcohol and 
drugs, getting into fights and dropping out of school.  
You may not know what to do it you witness bullying. It may make you feel depressed or worried. 
You may not feel safe. These feelings may make you want to join in the bullying, or be silent, so as not to 
get bullied yourself. Or maybe the bullying makes you so angry that you stand up to the bully yourself. 
The best, and the safest thing to do is always to bring the bullying to the attention of an adult, who will 
put a stop to it.
