Empowering Up-Standers: Understanding and Combatting Bullying in 7th Grade

This guide, created by OHMS Counselors Mr. Cherry, Mrs. Garrard, Mrs. Bartholomew, and Mrs. Walker, addresses the critical issue of bullying among 7th graders. It explores the motivations behind bullying, various forms it takes—physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying—and the roles of both victims and bystanders. This resource empowers students to become "up-standers" who actively oppose bullying, offering practical advice on how to respond, support peers, and report incidents. Together, we can cultivate a safer and more inclusive school environment.
