As the world grows more connected every day, there are more opportunities for educational as well as malicious content to reach our children. Social media has led to an increase in cyberbullying, which is leading to higher rates of depression than ever before seen. Through the power of an Anti Bullying Assembly, we can reach out to the most sensitive victims of bullying and help make a difference in their lives.
Anti Bullying Assembly of the Past
Reaching out to children in high school on issues like bullying can be a daunting task for any teacher, so working as a team will help to support students as much as possible. Many high school students feel alone in their bullying struggles and need to see that there are others who have gone through similar situations and found a positive outcome. Young minds tend to close off and feel isolated until they feel like they are part of a larger group of people who are all facing the same hardships. Old fashioned an Anti Bullying Assembly that just made bullying seem like a joke are ineffective and do little to help current students feel listened to. Students are unaware of the serious impacts their voices and online interactions can have on others. Someone needs to let them know that it’s okay to feel down - you can always come out of a dark place.
Anti Bullying Assembly of the Future
To effectively communicate to modern teenagers, a PowerPoint slideshow on why bullying is bad and the consequences of doing so won’t change anything. Students want to hear stories that are real and relatable to get them interested.
