What does the Pledge mean?
It is a promise and a commitment to abide by the following statements;
“I pledge not to be a bully
I will treat others with kindness and respect
I will respect that we are all different
I vow to support my friends
I vow to help stop bullying”
Why would you want to become an anti – bullying ambassador ?
Alayna Chaudhry 08E
“I think being an anti-bullying ambassador is important to me because it’s something I have always wanted to do as a role and it’s something that has to be stopped around the world!”
“Being an anti bullying ambassador not only gave me the opportunity to get further into understanding the reasons and effects of bullying, but also given me the opportunity to actually help. Bullying is a widely known issue that unfortunately many people of all ages, genders and ethnicities experience. Knowing that action is taken on the matter, and that I am a part of it, is such a nice feeling. Being an anti-bullying ambassador was one of my best choices and I am looking forward to starting our activities for the new academic year.”

Some up to date statistics:
Interventions
Bullied youth were most likely to report that actions that accessed support from others made a positive difference. Actions aimed at changing the behaviour of the bullying youth (fighting, getting back at them, telling them to stop, etc.) were rated as more likely to make things worse.
Students reported that the most helpful things teachers can do are: listen to the student, check in with them afterwards to see if the bullying stopped, and give the student advice.
Do not forget – In a world where you can be anything be Kind
