HOW TO BEAT THE BULLY
Two versions of this title are available:
Traditional Play Script, TP-18
Readers Theater Script, I-124
A "victim" and a "bully" cross paths after school and sparks fly. A friend, two bystanders, and the victim's mother play a part in finding a way to outsmart that bully - once and for all.
This script has been created to help teach or support anti-bullying strategies that might be useful to help stamp out bullying at your school. The strategies are:
Stay in a group. Kids who bully like to pick on kids who are by themselves a lot– it's easier and they're more likely to get away with their bad behavior.
Always tell an adult. It's hard to talk about serious things with adults sometimes, but they can help put a stop to bullying. Tell an adult that you trust and can talk to - your parents, your teacher, your school counselor, your coach, your neighbor. If you've told a grown-up before and they haven't done anything about it, tell someone else. And if you're afraid to tell an adult that you have been bullied, get another person - like a friend or a sister or brother - to go with you.
If it feels safe, try to stand up to the person who is bullying you. If the person who is bullying you thinks you won't do anything about it, they are more likely to keep picking on you. This doesn't mean you should fight back or bully them back. Instead, tell the person bullying you that you don't like it and that they should stop! Keep it simple. You might just say, "Cut it out, Miranda!", and then walk away. If possible, try to talk to them in a calm voice.
