BULLY AWARENESS
The word of the month for the October Tip Testing worksheet is BULLY AWARENESS.
What Is Bullying?
Bullying is when someone repeatedly uses words or actions to hurt, scare, embarrass, or leave someone out on purpose. Bullying can be physical, verbal, social, or online. Understanding bullying helps you know when to stand up for yourself or someone else and when to ask an adult for help.
Why Is Bully Awareness Important?
Bully awareness helps us create a safe and respectful environment for everyone. Standing up against bullying doesn’t always mean fighting back. It can mean using a confident voice, walking away, including someone who is being left out, or telling a trusted adult. As martial artists, we use our strength and confidence to help others, not hurt them.
How Can You Stand Up Against Bullying?
✓ Use a strong voice and confidently say, “Stop!”
✓ Walk away and find a trusted adult if you need help.
✓ Be an upstander when you see someone being bullied.
✓ Include someone who is being picked on or left out.
✓ Be kind and respectful to others in person and online.
Why Bully Awareness Matters
✓ Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.
✓ Kind words and actions can make a big difference.
✓ Asking an adult for help is a sign of courage.
✓ Martial artists use their skills responsibly.
