Bullying: The Harm It Does and How a Bystander Can Help

  • Grade 3
  • Physical and Health Education
  • 1 min 3 s
  • British Columbia
  • BC3-PH-11

A person bullying sends red jagged arrows at another person "on purpose, again and again", in a way that is "hard to stop". A box under the person being bullied fills with the harm it can do (scared, sad, alone, poor sleep, trouble focusing, low confidence), harm that can last after the bullying stops. A bystander then appears with a card of four ways to help: don't join in or laugh, speak up if it feels safe, be a friend to them, and ask a trusted adult for help. When the bystander helps, the arrows stop, the two stand together, and the video ends on the recap: bullying causes harm, and a bystander can help stop it.

What the lesson says

What harm does bullying do, and how can you help?

Bullying is hurting someone on purpose, again and again, in a way that is hard for them to stop.

Bullying can make a person feel scared, sad and alone.

It can also lead to poor sleep, trouble focusing and low confidence.

This harm can last long after the bullying stops.

A bystander is someone who sees bullying happen.

Here are four ways a bystander can help.

Don't join in or laugh.

If it feels safe, speak up and say, "Stop, that's not okay."

Be a friend to the person being bullied, so they are not alone.

Ask a trusted adult for help.

When a bystander helps, bullying often stops quickly.

Bullying causes real harm, and a bystander can help stop it.
