Kindness Wins
Be a Buddy:
Buffy believes students should create a good culture and take the proactive approach to be nice to each other. Strength is in numbers and if the majority bond together toward a common goal, it makes it difficult for bullies to disrupt a positive environment. Buffy shares a powerful story about a kid named Larry that he attended grade school with. Larry got picked on by some kids because he did not wear nice clothes to school. Buffy had compassion for Larry and would be kind to him because others picked on Larry. Kindness Wins!
Act of Kindness:
Brighten someone's day with a random act of kindness. A smile, holding the door open for someone at school, or just saying hello.
Student Policing:
Teachers can't see everything and that's when bullying usually occurs. Hallways, bus, cafeteria, library, etc. We encourage students to have each other's back during the absence of higher authority.
Special Note: The following topics are geared more for high school
Social Status:
Classicism in society. The homeless person on the street corner deserves to be treated with the same amount of respect as the rich person. One should treat others the way they want to be treated regardless of class.
Inclusion:
Most people are bullied or mistreated because they're different. This is the root cause of most social issues. Regardless of race, political views, financial status, gender, nationality style, etc. Through his travels, Buffy shares experiences in which he has crossed paths with good people and bad people from different backgrounds. judge people based on the content of their character.
Cyber Bullying:
Cyber bulling is just as harmful as in school bullying. We prompt students to think of the consequences before submitting a hurtful message. Our motto is "Treat others the way you want to be treated." Everyone likes the feeling from being uplifted as opposed to being mistreated. Buffy prompts students to think about how they feel when someone says a kind word in contrast to someone being mean.
Report:
When all else fells, if a bully continues to zero in on a particular student, a fellow student should report the ongoing bullying to a teacher or administrator.
