Help your school community answer the question: What is bullying?

The success of any bullying prevention program, especially the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, depends on consistency. That means making sure every student, teacher, and parent understands what bullying is, how it works, and what role they play in stopping it. That’s exactly what we help you do.

What Is Bullying?

When students know exactly what bullying looks like, they’re more likely to report it and less likely to dismiss it as “just drama.” Bullying isn’t just mean mean. It’s not a one-time argument. The Olweus Bullying Prevention program defined bullying with three clear criteria and we teach them in a way students understand and remember.

It’s on purpose – meant to hurt, embarrass or exclude

It’s repeated – not just once , but over time, or has the strong likelihood of happening again and again

It involces a power imbalance – where one person has more power, socially, physically, emotionally, economically, ect. Basically, it’s not a postitive relationship.

When students clearly understand what bullying is, they’re more likely to report it and less likely to confuse it with conflict or dismiss it as “just drama.”

Understanding the Roles in Bullying

Box Out Bullying assemblies don’t just show what bullying looks like — we go deeper into the Bullying Circle, showing students the roles people play in every situation. It’s a powerful moment when students see themselves in the story.

Through engaging audiences by seeing, listening, and doing, we cover student who is bullying, the student who is being bullied, and the followers or supporters who encourage the behavior. We highlight the disengaged onlookers who watch without reacting, the possible defenders who feel uncomfortable but stay silent, and the defenders — the ones who speak up, offer support, or report what they’ve seen. Our goal is to help more students move from possible defender to defender. That shift changes everything. Our goal is to help more students move from possible defender to defender.. That shift changes everything.

Why It Matters

When students understand what bullying really is, they can recognize it, report it, and respond with confidence. Without a shared definition, real bullying gets missed — or everything gets labeled as bullying.

Box Out Bullying brings clarity. We help students, staff, and families speak the same language, take consistent action, and create a school culture where everyone feels safe and supported.
