Happy to Be Me: An Anti-bullying Discussion 4: The Child's Perspective

Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, Vice President of Education and Research at Sesame Workshop, brings in some of her friends from Sesame Street to provide the child's perspective when dealing with bullying. Big Bird, Rosita and Blue Jay ask questions about this difficult topic, and appropriate adult responses are modeled.

Panelists include Dr. Catherine Bradshaw, Deputy Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence; Mia Doces, Curriculum Developer at the Committee for Children; Trudy Ludwig, Children's Advocate & Author of My Secret Bully and Confessions of a Former Bully; Dr. Jamie Ostrov, Associate Professor of Psychology at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York and Dr. Joseph Wright, Senior Vice President of the Child Health Advocacy Institute.

No... When your bullied its not best to go to an adult.. -_-.. You dont fight back, you stand strong back, you show thoe bullies who you are, you show them someone they dont see.. If they continue to knock you down, you have to try and simply talk to them when you can... if they stil knock you down, its best to get help yes, but for the love of god, dont get a parent or a teacher involed.. Police are often the best. if you go to someone who cant do anything, you only set yourself up worse. -.-

I disagree with most of these comments because I did get bullied in grade, middle and high school even though I stood up to them even tried to ignore them

@pnutbuttershmak Words like tattle-tale are just words bullies use to misguide victims from speaking out, to keep victims feeling guilty about wanting whats best for them.
