“Take a Stand;” The middle school years are often referred to as “the growth years.” Students change physically, mentally and socially. These changes can often be accompanied by feelings of uncertainty. Experts agree that during adolescence some students resort to exercising control or power over others instead of dealing with their own uncertainty. Unfortunately, this focuses on the person and not the problem. The traditional image of “bullying,” the big student picking on a smaller student, does not offer a complete picture of what occurs for some adolescents. As a result, victims of bullying are left with more uncertainty as they struggle with social shunning or ridicule. Feeling socially excluded can make anyone’s journey uncertain. In a school wide effort to address concerns associated with bullying, Pierce students will meet periodically by grade level as we introduce “Take A Stand” vs. Bullying. Our initiative is designed to educate students about the roles played by a victim, a bystander, and a bully and what we can do to erase the uncertainty. |
