Anti-Bullying

Share

We are a group of self-advocates and colleagues from around Northern Kentucky.

Bullying is an epidemic in our community. Our mission is to address this sensitive topic through peer to peer discussions. Our message is:

  • You are NOT alone
  • It’s NOT your fault you are being bullied
  • You CAN DO something about it!

What we think should happen about bullying:

  • anti-bullying should be in the constitution
  • the bully has power – but we have the power to stop it
  • speak up!
  • get help from staff (whoever is in charge)
  • report bullying
  • tell bullies to stop
  • stand up for your rights
  • complain about it
  • tell someone if you are being bullied
  • set up a support group
  • employ a qualified support worker to deal with the bullying

The Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation is currently developing it’s action plan and programs to combat bullying. Efforts are being made to work within schools and Kentucky legislation to combat bullying from an administration standpoint. If you would like to be involved in this effort, please visit: http://www.nkyyouth.org/get-involved.
