(GMS) — To support the anti-bullying campaign in October, Green Meadow School’s Student Council officers explained to their fellow students why they should prevent bullying.
The STUCO officers went to every classroom to show the many types of bullying and how to prevent them.
Bullying — physical, verbal and cyber — was depicted through presentations and skits. The members of the STUCO acted out various scenarios, showing what bullying can do to a person mentally and physically.
The presentations also showed how to stop bullying by reporting such acts and showing support to the victim.
The STUCO officers also posted flyers in each classroom that depicted the cruelty of bullying.
To bully — to harm, intimidate, or coerce — someone who is perceived as vulnerable is very damaging to a person’s mind and body. It could lead to bad thoughts about themselves and lower their self-esteem. These are the many reasons why we have a month for anti-bullying and why we need to support people who have been bullied or are being bullied.
The result of this campaign has greatly affected the students since there is now less bullying on campus.
Many students have benefited from what the STUCO has shown them.
“My thoughts about the campaign is that it’s a great way to spread awareness about the things that happen on school grounds,” said Nicole Acaba, a 7th grader at GMS.
The younger students in school can now fully understand what bullying is, the types of bullying, and how to prevent them. Since the STUCO officers showed what bullying is, the students now know if someone is being bullied and how to prevent it.
Bullying is a serious topic for schools around the world, and the GMS STUCO is glad to help their fellow students understand it. The STUCO officers hope that they have educated many students about bullying and that there will be little traces of it in the future.
