Miss Abbie's Tutoring will still be happening. [page 3] SOCIAL WORK CORNER October 2026 - Bully Awareness Month Be an Upstander An upstander is someone who sees bullying and takes safe, compassionate action to reduce harm rather than standing by in silence. In-Person Upstander Actions • Remove immediate bullies thrive on reactions; do not laugh, watch, or crowd around. Walk away or encourage others to leave with you to take away the audience. • Use direct phrases: Speak up calmly using firm statements like "This is not right" or "This needs to stop right now." • Interrupt or redirect: Ask an open-ended question like "What's up?" or make a lighthearted distraction to break the tension and shift focus. • Buddy up: Reach out to the person being targeted. Walk with them, invite them to join your group, or check in an them privately afterward to let them know it is not their fault. • Involve a trusted adult: If direct intervention feels unsafe or tense, report the behavior immediately to a teacher, counselor, or parent. Online (Cyberbullying) Upstander Actions • Do not engage or amplify: Never like, share, comment on, or forward cruel posts, screenshots, or videos. • Post positive reinforcement: Leave a supportive comment for the targeted person (e.g., "I'm unfollowing this thread because it's hurtful. You don't deserve this"), or send them a private message of support. • Save the evidence: Take screenshots of the harmful posts, messages, or fake profiles before they get deleted. • Use platform reporting tools: Flag and report the abusive content or accounts directly through the social media app or website. Talk to a resource: Share the saved evidence with a school administrator, family member, or cyberbullying helpline. How Parents Can Start the Conversation • Ask open-ended questions: Instead of asking "Are you being bullied?", try asking, "How are things at lunch or on the bus?" or "Have you ever seen anyone get picked on at school or online?" • Define 'Upstander' together: Explain that being an upstander doesn't mean picking a fight. It means showing the person being targeted that they aren't alone. • Role-play safe scenarios: Practice simple, direct phrases your child can use, such as, 'Hey, let's go sit somewhere else,' or 'That's not cool, stop.' • Establish digital boundaries: Discuss how online actions have real-world impacts. Remind them that liking or sharing a mean post makes them part of the bullying, while reporting it helps stop it. • Emphasize reporting vs. 'snitching': Teach your child that 'snitching' is done to get someone in trouble, but reporting or telling an adult is done to get someone out of trouble or keep them safe.
