Are you an upstander?

Are you a person who speaks up and tries to help when you see or hear about someone being bullied? Then you are an upstander! An upstander is: 1. Brave: Telling a friend who is bullying to stop is hard. The bully might be mad at you at first, but in the end you are doing that friend a huge favor by helping them to stop their hurtful behavior.  2. Active: Doing something is better than nothing! Just three words: “That Is Bullying” can make a huge difference!  3. Outspoken: Use your voice, speak up, and tell the bully how their behavior makes you feel. 4. Caring: Upstanders have the gift of compassion. You recognize when someone is hurt and take steps to help. Psst... Have you seen the new Booster Badge?  It symbolizes being kind to one another!
