Bullying

A child who is bullied feels scared, sad and lonely. A joke that everyone laughs at, including the person, is not bullying. Ignoring a friend on purpose again and again is bullying.

See a friend being bullied? Fetch a teacher and stand by your friend.
  • Protect yourself: stay with friends, keep away from places where no adult can see you, walk away calmly, and block and report a bully online.
  • Where to find help: a parent, a teacher, the principal, the school counsellor, or Childline on 116 (free, day and night).

Teamwork

Good team habitWhy
Listen to everyone’s ideasEveryone feels part of the team
Give positive feedbackIt encourages and builds the team
Share resourcesEveryone can use the materials and information
Kindly give a member who does nothing a taskEveryone helps

An individual activity you do alone (reading a book); a group activity you do together (building a model). Collaboration means working together with others. A positive, helpful attitude helps a team most. Working in a group? Sneeze into your elbow or a tissue so germs don’t pass to the group.

Working together at home

  • At home you are part of a team: the family. Everyone helps with chores, such as washing the dishes or setting the table.
  • With brothers and sisters: share, wait your turn and talk calmly when you disagree.
  • Benefits of working together: the work is done sooner, and you learn from each other. Challenges: some do little, or you disagree. Solution: share the tasks fairly and listen to each other.

Remember this and test yourself

Remember this: your summary
  • Bullying is repeated and on purpose. The victim is the target; the bystander sees it.
  • Kinds: physical (hitting), verbal (nasty names), social (spreading stories, leaving out), cyber (online).
  • Mean messages: keep them and tell an adult.
  • Teamwork: working together towards a shared goal; listen to everyone’s ideas.
  • Where to get help: a parent, a teacher, the principal, the school counsellor or Childline (116).

Write these points in your book. Read them again the night before the test.
