Bully Awareness Month<br />
MonMonMonthMonth<br />
In October the counseling department supported our school system in recognizing<br />
National Bully Awareness Month. The 6 th grade attended a convocation earlier in<br />
the year about bullying. The concepts taught in this presentation were reviewed<br />
with the students. In 7 th grade students were taught to be up standers, not<br />
bystanders. The focus was on the positive things students can do to support<br />
others who are being bullied and treated unkindly. The ending project, I am the<br />
Majority, can be viewed on the NEMS school main page and guidance page. The<br />
8 th grade students were presented with a lesson on cyber-bullying that included<br />
the four types of cyber-bullying, how online actions can cross the line into bullying<br />
behavior, and how to support students who are being cyber-bullied.<br />
All students were taught about the differences between true bullying and just<br />
being in a conflict with someone. Students were also given resources about how to<br />
report bullying at NEMS. They were told about the Bully Box in student services as<br />
well as the online reporting system. The address to report bullying is<br />
DoTheRightThingNEMS@nobl.k12.in.us. This link can also be found on the main<br />
page of the NEMS website.<br />
The month concluded with an evening parent presentation about how students are<br />
using electronic media, cyber-bullying, and the media landscape of today.<br />
