7.Moderator: why are the polocies of bullying not working?
a) Panel: Physical bullying is when bullies hurt their targets physically. This might
be shoving, tripping, punching, or hitting.
b) Panel: I think the problem that it's not working as no one wants to enforce the
rules. No one wants to take the time, the effort. And, when they do the time,
effort and punishment isn't fitting the crime. It's picking-up trash or staying after
school.
c) Panel: Some bullies don't understand normal social emotions like guilt,
empathy, compassion, or remorse. These people need help from a mental
health professional like a counselor, social worker, psychiatrist, or psychologist.
d) Panel: If you've been bullied with rumors or gossip, tell your friends so that they
can help you feel safe and secure. Avoid being alone, especially when the
bullying is happening a lot.
8. Moderator: Why do we feel the need to judge other people?
a) Panel: I deeply believe that people bully people because they're bored. They
have nothing better to do because if you have something better to do like you
had to go somewhere, you wouldn't take the time to sit there and make fun of
somebody.
b) Panel: Join your school's bullying or violence prevention programs. Peer
mediation is another way you may be able to work things out with a bully. If
your school doesn't have these programs, start one of your own.
c) Panel: Try talking to a trusted adult to talk about why you have become a bully.
Ask them for some advice on how you could change.
d) Panel: You're more likely to be hurt and get into trouble if you try to fight a bully.
Work out your anger in another way, such as exercising or writing it down.
