An Anti Bullying Campaign Can Begin On the First Day of School

While some schools are tackling the problem of bullying through workshops and group discussions with teachers, guidance counselors, and students, there is also an anti bullying campaign being waged among celebrities and parents whose children have been victimized.

One of the ways in which an anti bullying campaign can be incorporated into the schools is through the use of innovative and creative ideas to remind everyone in the school environment that bullying will not be tolerated. This can include an anti bullying band which can be customized with the words "stop bullying" or similar sentiments.

In addition, while most schools give out school agenda books each year delineating the school's mission as well as the rules and regulations of proper behavior, anti bullying wristbands can be given to the students as well. A specific color can be chosen to signify the students and members of the staff at that school are against bullying by wearing these bands every day.

In some cases, students are asked to sign contracts which outline how they are expected to behave in school, and these contracts are then co-signed by their parents. In this way, both the student and the parent know exactly what is expected in that particular school.

An anti bullying campaign can begin with the first day of school by having students sign an anti bullying contract which encourages students to adhere to the outlined rules and regulations defining bullying and thus agree to the tenets within. A list of rules can then be listed signifying what bullying is, how to recognize incidents of bullying, inform superiors if any bullying is ongoing, participate in classes which bullying is discussed, help other students who are or have been victims of bullying, and more importantly, to respect others and understand that while there may be a diverse culture in the schools, everyone is entitled to an education regardless of who they are.

The anti bullying campaign incorporating anti bullying bands and anti bullying wristbands will send a signal to everyone in school that bullying will not be tolerated on any level; either physically, verbally, or by actions which are meant to demean, threaten, or diminish ones capacity to fully participate in daily classes.

Bullying can not only be painful, but it can lead to low-self esteem and fear of socialization. An anti bullying campaign, one that is planned and executed well before the new school year begins, can offer hope to those who have been victims and/or victimized in the past. The educational system should embrace this idea with full support from the top administrators, as well as propose anti-bullying legislation so that children who attend school are not afraid and can achieve their goals without being infringed upon by bullying tactics.
