Beyond Bullying: Understanding Its Impact and Taking Action
Bullying is more than just a schoolyard problem—it’s a serious issue that affects students emotionally, socially, and academically. Whether it’s physical aggression, verbal insults, exclusion, or cyberbullying, the consequences can be long-lasting, impacting self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being. It’s not just about statistics; bullying is a real and personal experience for many students, shaping the culture of schools and online communities.
This course explores the root causes of bullying, including psychological factors, social dynamics, and school environments that may enable harmful behaviors. By examining why bullying happens and how it affects individuals and communities, students will gain a deeper understanding of how to create positive change.
Through discussions, real-life scenarios, and practical strategies, high school students will learn how to recognize, prevent, and respond to bullying—whether as a target, a bystander, or an advocate. The goal is to build a culture of respect, inclusion, and empowerment, where every student feels safe, valued, and heard. Change starts with awareness, and this course will equip students with the knowledge and skills to make a difference.
