  10. Silence Hurts Us • Imagine if … • Brutus Bullyboy persistently pestered Victor Victimson… • and no one said anything.

  11. Silence Hurts Us • Every day someone is a victim of bullying. • Don’t let it happen. • Speak up. • Because Silence Hurts all of Us

  12. Silence Hurts Us • SO … you aren’t someone who bullies others, and you haven’t been bullied yourself. • BUT … if you see it happening to others, you can help put a stop to it. • It might be easier to stand by and watch, or to try to ignore it, but think about how you would feel if the bullying was happening to YOU.

  13. Silence Hurts Us • Speak up! • Say something like: • “Cut it out.” • “Nobody thinks that’s funny.” • “That is not cool.” • When kids who bully see that other kids don’t think it is cool, they are more likely to stop.

  14. Silence Hurts Us • One of the best things you can do for a person who is being bullied is just to be there for him or her, and be a friend. • Don’t be just a bystander, stand by them. • Report the bullying to an adult.

  15. Silence Hurts Us • Who should you tell? • Teacher • Counselor • Parent • Coach • Resource Officer • Administrator

  16. Silence Hurts Us • The SHU Box is a way to anonymously report bully, hazing, and other student issues. • The SHU Box was created to break the code or culture of silence that exists in schools.

  17. Silence Hurts Us • What types of things can I report? • You can report through the SHU Box anything from bullying to drugs to sexual harassment, discrimination, verbal harassment, threats, vandalism, or other non-emergency but dangerous behavior.

  18. Silence Hurts Us • Why should I report? • By submitting a report, you help administrators to become more aware of the incidents happening in our school. They can’t fix problems if they don’t know about them. By reporting, you make our school a better and safer place to be.

  19. Silence Hurts Us • When will someone read the comments placed in SHU Box? • Daily. Everyday a responsible adult will read the comments and report the findings to the appropriate people. Counselors, the resource officer, and/or an administrator will then act to fix the problem.

  20. Silence Hurts Us • If you would like to report an issue please write your comment on a piece of paper and take it to the counseling office. The SHU box will be available for you to report your comment. • Please only put comments in the SHU box, and only comments that you know to be true and that you think might help your peers.

  21. Silence Hurts Us • Now you can “Speak Up” digitally. • Go to the TH Bell Website
