Friendships and bullying

During this session, we combat bullying and learn the art of self-respect while being a kind, supportive friend to others.

We will analyse:

• Why friendships and bullying matters to mental and physical wellbeing

• Self-love

• Beauty myths

• What respect means

• How to choose friends (including remembering that friendships are optional and that friends shouldn’t harm you)

• How the law protects everyone, by explaining every school is legally required to provide an anti-bullying policy, even friends can break the law and how to report harassment

• How to defeat a bully and to question whether they have ever been a bully without realising

• Trolling: why it happens and what to do when it does
