You are a student (or parent of a student) who is being bullied or harassed by other students at your school. Snide comments, nasty rumors, "eye-rolling" by these people, as well as others around you, have all become part of your life. Or maybe you are being treated badly by a school staff member. You are becoming increasingly depressed and often you do not want to go to school. Now imagine that you've asked for help from the principal. The principal may have indicated a sincere intent to help make things better, but the bullying or harassment has not stopped. Or the principal did try, but this has made things worse and so now you are afraid to ask for help again. Alternatively, you may have heard such comments as: "This isn't bullying." "They were just joking." "You are overreacting." "You just need to learn to deal with it." "If you would stop (describe behavior), this wouldn't happen." All these responses have done is to make you feel worse. You may possibly not need to imagine this scenario because you have been living it. If so, it is most important that you understand that the way you are being treated is not okay and needs to stop. You have a right to feel safe at school, not be treated badly by others, to receive an education, and to fully participate in school activities. Things can be done to help to make things better.
