Bullying is a serious problem that can affect the academic, social, and emotional well-being of students. As a teacher, you have a responsibility to prevent and stop bullying in your class, and to support the victims and the bullies. But how do you do that effectively? Here are some tips to help you deal with bullying in your class.
Sometimes, bullying can be obvious, such as physical or verbal attacks, name-calling, or threats. Other times, it can be more subtle, such as rumors, exclusion, or cyberbullying. You need to be alert and observant of the signs of bullying, such as changes in behavior, mood, or performance of your students, signs of injury or damage to belongings, or reports from other students or parents. If you notice any of these signs, you need to intervene as soon as possible and talk to the student who is being bullied.
I have a conversation with the student to get all the details. Once I do that, I talk with the Administration to get them involved. Once the Administration gets inovlved, we have a conversation with the parents of both students. This open dialogue will help us get a better understand of what is going on and why.
When dealing with bullying in my classroom, I prioritize swift intervention and open communication to address the issue effectively. If I observe signs of bullying such as verbal attacks, exclusion, or changes in behavior among my students, I initiate a conversation with the student who is being bullied to gather details about the situation. Following this, I involve the administration to ensure appropriate support and intervention measures are implemented. Engaging in open dialogue with the parents of both the bullied student and the bully allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation and work collaboratively towards resolution.
you should intervene immediately, ensure the victim’s safety, and report the incident to the appropriate school authorities. It’s also important to communicate with both the victim and the bully separately to address the issue. Lastly, involve parents and provide support to the bullied student.
Often teachers also start laughing at stupid jokes and become part of the bullying culture. It is important to look for signs if a certain student is constantly targeted by others. Check if there is name-calling, rudeness, exclusions towards a particular student(s). Also check for response of that student, if you observe emotional changes, decline in student's academic performance, signs of any injury then it probably is a victim of bullying.
Es crucial estar consciente de las diferentes formas de acoso, ya que pueden manifestarse de manera sutil o evidente. Estar alerta a cambios en el comportamiento o el rendimiento de los estudiantes, así como a se?ales físicas de acoso, es fundamental para intervenir y brindar apoyo a quienes lo necesiten. Siempre es importante abordar el problema lo antes posible y hablar con el estudiante afectado.
When you talk to the student who is being bullied, you need to listen and empathize with their feelings and experiences. Do not blame, judge, or minimize their situation. Show them that you care and that you are there to help. Ask them open-ended questions to understand the nature and extent of the bullying, and to find out what they want you to do. Respect their wishes and opinions, but also explain your role and responsibilities as a teacher. Reassure them that they are not alone and that bullying is not their fault.
Cuando hablas con el estudiante acosado, es esencial mostrar empatía y validar sus sentimientos sin juzgar ni culpar.

Once you have listened and empathized with the student who is being bullied, you need to take action to stop the bullying and to protect the student. Depending on the situation, you may need to involve other teachers, the principal, the counselor, or the parents of the students involved. You may also need to report the bullying to the authorities or to the online platforms where the bullying occurred. You need to follow the school's policies and procedures on bullying, and document the incidents and the actions taken. You also need to monitor the situation and follow up with the student who is being bullied.
As an educator, it's a responsibility to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all learners. It has come to my attention that an incident of bullying occurred in my classroom. I addressed it promptly and effectively by approaching the bullies making it clear that it's unacceptable and against the values we uphold in my classroom. I met with both parties parents to discuss, monitor and ensure that this will not happen again. I approached the guidance councilor to provide support as well. Together, we can create an environment where every student feels valued, respected and safe.
An example, was when my daughter of a ( Black Heritage) was being picked on at her school and was called a monkey and this white children were mimicking an African accent whenever she speaks. As a parent that was painful to hear as you can imagine because I didn't know about it happening to my daughter. I took action, contacted other ethnic minority family members from the school to see if their children were experiencing similar. Once I gathered enough evidence, I approached the school Head and asked for a meeting, raised a formal complaint and from my complaint the school were able to look at how things would improve. Am I satisfied with the outcomes no but at least it brought the issue about Racism up. Take whatever legal action.
The student needs to know that you care. By speaking to whole class about the effects of bullying on the victim as well as the perpetrators you will be showing effective leadership. I wrote the poem below about bullies. Bullies at home. Bullies at work. Bullies on the streets. Bullies in their cars. They push past everyone because they think everyone owe them defference. Blind, or ignorant to the needs of others it is their way or no way. Bullies in fine clothes. Bullies in high office. Bullies, and they think not that they are Bullies.

You can do this by providing academic, social, and emotional support, such as tutoring, mentoring, counseling, or peer support. You can also help them develop skills and strategies to deal with bullying, such as assertiveness, self-esteem, or conflict resolution. You can also encourage them to participate in activities and hobbies that they enjoy and that boost their confidence and resilience.
Having a full-time counsellor at school is often very helpful to address the victims of bullying. Such students can also be provided with opportunities to perform and excel so that they are kept motivated and not lose their interest in school. Also encouraging peer support can be very handy. There is often a group of student volunteers to maintain discipline like prefects. Such students can also be given the tasks of supporting and protecting victims of bullying in places school staff might not be present like sports fields, cafeteria, corridors etc.

Recovery process from bullying is key. It determines if there will be permanent solution or recurrence of the problem.

While your main focus should be on the student who is being bullied, you should not ignore or punish the bully. Instead, you should address the bully and try to understand why they are bullying and how you can help them change their behavior. You can do this by talking to them in a respectful and firm manner, explaining the consequences and impact of their actions, and setting clear expectations and boundaries for their behavior. You can also provide them with guidance, counseling, or discipline, depending on the severity and frequency of the bullying. You can also help them develop empathy, social skills, or anger management skills.
El acosador necesita una intervención profesional. Ya que la estructura psíquica que ha ido construyendo le impedirá percibir los sentimientos y acciones hostiles que despliega como perjudiciales y da?inos. Cuando se naturaliza ese modo de accionar, es difícil que se reconozca el perjuicio que se genera y las consecuencias que tienen esos patrones de conducta en los otros. Además del da?o que se genera a sí mismo al ignorar las habilidades emocionales como la empatia, la consideración y la compasión. Todo lo que hace a un ser " humano" , que despliegue vínculos interpersonales saludables, con un trato amable y que aloje las cualidades diferenciales de los otros.

Finally, you should promote a positive climate in your class and in your school, where bullying is not tolerated and where respect, kindness, and diversity are valued.

It is also vital that students are provided safe and confidential reporting mechanisms where not only the victim can report the problem, but other students who might know or have witnessed bullying can report without having their identities compromised. This can increase the effectiveness of school's efforts to timely recognize cases and take corrective measures.
If a student is verbally bullied, that person can choose to ignore whatever was said, and walk away. Another possible response to verbal bullying is to turn whatever was said to the student back on the bully such as saying that the bully is "stupid" when the bullied student is called "stupid," and again walking away. If the bullying is physical abuse, the bullied student needs to learn self defense tactics such as boxing, karate, other martial arts, etc. The bullied student should also be told that it is actually the bully who has a serious problem and not the bully's target. The bully is acting out an antisocial tendency while trying to dominate and get some aberrant ego satisfaction.
