Unit #4 Safety & Violence Prevention, Lesson #3 Discrimination &

Violence
Objectives: Students will be able to…
o Assess ways to deter bullying, sexual harassment, and racism.
o Analyze how physical, social, cultural, and emotional environments may contribute to
violence.
o Practice effective communication to ask that bullying, sexual harassment, and racism
stop.
o Examine the influence of peer groups as they relate to harassing and intimidating
behaviors.
Warmup:
What do you think you should do if you see bullying/harassment?
Mind your business
Vocabulary:
 Bullying: an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated
verbal, physical and/or social behavior that intends to cause physical, social and/or
psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or
perceived power, over one or more people who feel unable to stop it from happening.
 Sexual Harassment: includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors,
and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature
 Racism: discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.
Types:
 Verbal: name calling, teasing, racial comments, sarcasm, rumors, mean spirited
comments, intimidate
 Social: mobbing, excluding, humiliating, using graffiti aimed at others, putdowns
 Physical: unwanted touching, hitting, spitting, tripping, shoving, pushing, being
aggressive
 Cyber: similar to verbal bullying but is done online or through texting
How to stop bullying/harassment when it is happening to you:
 Look at the person bullying you and tell him/her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try
to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off
guard.
 If speaking up seems too hard or not safe, walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an
adult to stop the bullying on the spot.
 Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel
less alone. They can help you decide to stop the bullying.
 Stay away from places where bullying happens.

 Stay near adults and other kids. Most bullying happens when adults aren’t around.

How to stop bullying/harassment when you see it happening to others:


 Talk with the person being bullied. Ask what you can do to help. Sometimes just hanging out
between classes or before and after school can help.
 Listen without making judgments. The person being bullied could feel sensitive about what’s
going on and scared to talk about it. They may feel powerless and unable to get away from
the bullying.
 Let them know you care. Show that you’re a friend. Invite them into your group or to do
things together. Being bullied hurts a person’s confidence, but friends can make a huge
difference.
 Tell an adult you trust. If the bullying is happening at school, tell a teacher, principal,
administrator, or counselor. But no matter where it’s happening, tell an adult you trust. Try to
involve the person being bullied in the discussion. They might be afraid to tell someone, so
your encouragement could help.
 Take a stand as a group. Talk with your friends about how you can stand up to bullying.
There’s strength in numbers. Start or join an anti-bullying group or a gay-straight alliance at
your school.
 Don’t repeat rumors. Bullies sometimes try to start rumors — you can help stop a rumor by
not spreading it.
 Confront bullying. It takes courage, but talking to someone who’s bullying lets them know that
their actions aren’t cool. If you’re worried about safety, make sure you tell someone your plan
or bring someone with you. You also don’t have to talk face-to-face — you can send them a
message to let them know that what they’re doing is wrong and hurtful. Sometimes, all
people need to hear is “Hey, that’s not cool,” to make them think twice about their words and
actions.
 Educate! Some types of bullying — like bullying someone for their race, religion, or being gay
or trans — is based on fear and ignorance. If you teach someone what you know about these
things, you might be able to change the way they treat people.

Bullying/Harassment Scenarios: Explain how you would respond to each scenario to


stop the bullying/harassment. Be sure to refer to the notes above!
1. On the bus ride to school, you see some older kids threatening to beat up a
younger kid if they don’t move and sit where they want them to.
 Response:
Tell the kid it’s better to move, it's just a seat and it doesn’t matter.
2. A group of students in Kobe’s class have been invited to join the same WhatsApp
group. At first, it was to chat about a football game, but the app became popular and
soon it seemed like everyone was in the chat. Kobe wasn't asked, and a friend showed
him a message posted in the group which said 'Kobe is a crybaby.’ No one let him in
the chat.
 Response:
I would say “Listen to Melanie Martinez’s album ‘Cry Baby’ you will clearly relate to
it.”
3. During lunch, you see a group of boys call a classmate’s food smelly and refuse to
let them sit at their table.
 Response:
I would eat in silence, like usual.
4. Amy broke up with Joe (16 years old) a few months ago. Joe says he is really upset
and can't get over her. Even though Amy has asked him to give her some space, he
sends her direct messages on social all the time. Amy is shocked when Joe sends her
some nude images taken of her when they were in a relationship. He doesn't include a
message with the photos.
 Response:
Say “Joe, she doesn’t love you. Here’s a Sylvia Plath novel and a bottle of OxyContin's.
I’m going to turn around for 5 minutes and whatever happens, happens.”
5. Andrea sits in front of Jeff and Mike in English class. They all get along well most
days. Recently the boys have started telling obscene jokes to one another before
class and drawing dirty pictures during class. At first Andrea tried to ignore it but it
made her feel uncomfortable. Andrea told them that she didn’t like it and asked them
to top. Mike said they were just having fun and she should just ignore it. Jeff said, “It’s
not like we’re doing it to you.”
 Response:
Tell Andrea to move seats or ask the teacher to move seats because Jeff and Mike make you uncomfortable.

What is a pledge???
 To make a serious or formal promise to give or do something.
Today we are going to pledge against bullying/harassment in our school
and community!
Closure: Explain a time when you were bullied or witnessed someone
being bullied.
I was verbally abused by my (then) bf’s friends for being a guy.
 How did you respond?
I blocked their numbers and stayed away from them.
 How would you respond differently now?
I wouldn’t, as they are people who can’t support their friends for who
they are, and I don’t want to be around people who are like that.
