Lesson Plan

Break the Bully Cycle

Students will identify and categorize bullying behaviors, recognize common barriers to intervention, and practice two safe strategies to confidently stand up for themselves and peers.

Bullying negatively impacts student well-being and learning. Equipping 9th graders with empathy and practical intervention skills fosters a safer, supportive school culture and reduces silence-driven inaction.
