OPP works to prevent bullying in Huron
Nov. 19-25 is Bullying Awareness
and Prevention Week in Ontario.
This is an opportunity to remind
youth and parents of the dangers of
bullying and to learn more about its
effect on student learning and well-
being. It is also an opportunity
to raise awareness of solutions to
help prevent crime and
victimization.
Huron County Ontario Provincial
Police (OPP) supports the efforts of
community agencies collaborating
and setting goals to promote
bullying awareness and offer
support to those who have fallen
victim.
Bullying is known to cause serious
physical and psychological harm
such as depression, anxiety and the
increased risk of suicide. It can be a
traumatic experience and some
forms of bullying can even be
considered a criminal offence.
Huron OPP's Community Safety
Officer (CSO) PC Jamie Stanley
spoke at St. James Catholic
Elementary School in Seaforth on
Monday about this serious issue.
One of the messages delivered to the
students was that bullying is not
normal and is not acceptable;
whether it be at home, at school, in
the workplace, in the arena or at the
park.
Students will be encouraged to
"Have Someone's Back" and to lend
support to their friend, teammate or
classmate when they recognize they
are being bullied. Did you know it is
reported that bullying will stop in the
majority of cases within 10 seconds
when someone intervenes? Students
will be encouraged to become
interveners rather than bystanders or
participants.
Huron County OPP encourages
parents to talk with their children
and remind them that it is not
acceptable for them to bully, be
bullied or stand by and watch as
others are being bullied.
If you are being bullied, or know
someone that is, remember you are
never alone.
There are many resources and
supports available. These resources
can help you develop strategies,
connect with support services and
identify healthy relationship
alternatives. Some resources
include: Kids Help Phone, Canadian
Centre for Child Protection
and the Government of Ontario
website.
