What are the signs of students being bullied or harassed?
There are a few signs: • fear of going to school • lack of friends • missing belongings • torn clothing • increased fearfulness and anxiety. In addition, look for changes in behaviour. • Bullied students won’t join in group activities. • A student or group of students acts embarrassed about comments made in class at which another group laughs, but the teacher and other students don’t understand. • Their standard of work declines. • The student becomes unusually aggressive, and doesn’t appear to be able to behave assertively.
