Short-Answer Responses
For this assignment, you will respond to each question and prompt with two to three complete sentences
free of spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.

1. You have been approached to help start an anti-bullying club at school. What would an
on-campus, school club do to promote an anti-bullying environment?

A school club on campus would promote an anti-bullying environment by getting people


together, talking about it, and conducting assemblies. Also, post flyers and meet new
different people.

2. How would the anti-bullying club support the needs and rights of students with regard to their
social and mental health?

The anti-bullying club supports the needs and rights of students with regard to their social and
mental health in regards to making the students feel safer, being their friends and being there
for them when they need it. By increasing awareness, students can better understand the
impact of bullying on their peers and the need for support.

3. What three resources would an anti-bullying club make available to students who were targets of
harassment?

An anti-bullying club would make three resources available to students who were targets of
harassment. They are as follows, Support, an anti-bullying club would support students who are
bullying victims. Education, an anti-bullying club would educate students on what bullying is, how
to recognize it, and how to report it. Empowerment, an anti-bullying club would empower
students who are victims of bullying by giving them the tools they need to stand up for
themselves.

4. During an anti-bullying club meeting after school, Lin shared that while she was on a social media
page, another student from school used instant messaging to ask Lin for her address and phone
number. Lin says that she knows of this student, but they are not friends. Because Lin has
experienced harassment from peers at school over the last month, she is not sure whether the
request is friendly.

a. How might the situation lead to bullying?


The person may say mean things to you through text messaging, which is considered
cyberbullying. On the other hand, they can walk up to your house and hurt you physically or
mentally.

b. How should the anti-bullying club advise Lin about handling the situation?

I would advise Lin to tell a trusted adult ASAP and wait for instructions on how to handle it or tell
them no and carry on with your day. Whichever makes them feel the safest.

c. How will the advice help Lin prevent potential bullying?

If you use the methods given, you can keep yourself safe online and at home. For example, ignore
the messages that ask for anything personal and make sure to tell a trusted adult.

5. During an anti-bullying club meeting after school, a student mentions that a new student has joined
your class at school. The individual wears clothes that are not very common at your school and
are religious in nature. Some of the other students have been talking negatively about the new
student.

a. How can this scenario lead to bullying?


This scenario can lead to bullying due to the new student being perceived as different from the
majority of the students. The student's religious clothing may make them a target for
discrimination or ridicule from their peers who are not familiar with or accepting of their beliefs.
This can escalate into verbal or physical harassment, exclusion, or cyberbullying.

b. How should the club advise students to respond in this situation?

The club should advise students to respond to this situation by promoting empathy,
understanding, and acceptance. They can encourage students to educate themselves about
different cultures and religions, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students.
Additionally, they can emphasize the importance of standing up against bullying, speaking out
against negative talk or behavior, and supporting the new student in feeling accepted and valued.

c. How will the advice help prevent potential bullying in this situation?

This advice will help prevent potential bullying in this situation by creating a school culture that
values diversity, respect, and kindness. By promoting education and awareness about different
backgrounds and beliefs, students are more likely to develop empathy and understanding towards
others who may be different from them. By encouraging students to speak up against bullying and
show support for the new students, the club can help foster a positive and inclusive school
community where everyone feels safe and respected.
