There are a lot of other girls in our grade who are. Putting an End to It Stopping peer harassment requires changing the adolescent culture of the school. Because students don't report harassment and because the peer culture requires that they act as though it doesn't affect them, adults must take the lead in behavioral change. Help the school community become conscious of harassing behavior. This takes some time and involves students, teachers, other staff, and parents.
Students initially downplay the effects of harassment.
Therefore, we need to use reflective activities to raise consciousness and raise students' awareness of their own feelings. Teachers can plan these activities through academic projects and assignments in all areas. In literature classes, focus on the issues of acceptable community behavior when discussing fiction. In science and math classes, ask students to conduct surveys about teasing and harassment and analyze the results. In art courses, encourage students to portray in paintings and other representations how they feel about verbal attacks.
