What can I do when the school doesn't stop the bullying?
It can be extremely frustrating when you tell your teachers and school administrators about a bullying situation and they don't do much about it. Your teacher may sit you and your bully down for a conversation, but then the very next day the bully is back at it, pushing you around.
Actions you can take when your school doesn't help
Start an anti-bullying program. Recruit your friends, teachers, and family to participate, and then together decide what you want to accomplish with the program. Do you want to change current school rules and punishments? Are you looking to create a support network for kids who are being bullied? Once you have settled on your goals, look for sponsors like the local police department to help you get your word out.
Ask for anti-bullying presentations by professional speakers. Approach your teacher or principal about bringing in a professional speaker to talk to the whole school about the dangers of bullying. If your teacher or principal is unresponsive, collect signatures from fellow students to show that there is a demand for such a presentation.
Report ineffective school response to bullying to a newspaper or news program. If the school continues to be unresponsive to the bullying taking place, you can reach out to a local newspaper or news program to investigate the problem. School administrators will be quick to change their attitudes if they think they might look bad in the news.
Transfer schools. This should be one of your last options, but if the bullying is too difficult to take and your school doesn't seem to be taking your fears seriously, then you should consider changing schools.
