BULLY PREVENTION PROGRAM
LOCAL TRAINING TO LIFT UP THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
What is Bullying
Bullying occurs when someone uses words or actions to intimidate someone into doing what they want. The person being bullied often feels powerless over what is happening, and the situation typically happens over and over again.
We often think of of bullying as being a physical act in which someone pushes, shoves, and hurts someone else deliberately, but bullying can also be emotional. Calling someone names, spreading lies and rumors about them, making verbal threats, and sending mean comments to someone via social media are all examples of emotional bullying. This kind of intimidation often goes unnoticed as it’s easier to hide from others, but the damage can be just as bad, if not worse than traditional forms of physical bullying.
How we can help?
FOD can provide workshops and assistance with Loving and Blooming yourself and say “NO” to bullying campaigns for our youth.
