2. STOP Stop the behavior! NOW! Think about your actions and apologize for them. Overcome your own problems. Talk to a trusted adult and try to find out why you act the way you do. Pretend it's happening to you. How would you feel if someone was treating you the way you treat others?

3. AWARE Adult help. Speak up and get help from an adult. This is one time when it is okay to tell. It is not tattling. It is bully prevention! You can tell a teacher, a parent, or another trusted adult, or even an older student. Watch for signs of bullying. Always stick together. Try using the buddy system and be a good friend to those who are being picked on. Respect others. If you hear others making fun of someone, or teasing them, stick up for them. Ear. Lend your ear and be a good listener, and show that you care.
