Bullying culture

Okay kiddo, have you ever had someone be mean or hurtful to you at school, on the playground, or maybe even online? That's called bullying, and it's not a nice thing to do or experience.

Sometimes, when a lot of kids act mean or hurtful to others, it becomes more than just a few isolated incidents - it becomes a culture. A culture is like a big group of people who all share similar attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs.

So, when we talk about a bullying culture, we mean a group of people who all think that it's okay or even cool to be mean or hurtful to others. This can happen in schools, sports teams, workplaces, and even online communities.

In a bullying culture, people may make fun of others for being different, call them names, spread rumors, or even physically hurt them. This can make the people on the receiving end very sad, scared, or even depressed.

But don't worry, there are things we can do to stop bullying cultures! We can speak up when we see someone being mean to others, we can be kind and supportive to our friends and classmates, and we can work together to create a culture of respect and kindness instead. Remember, everyone deserves to feel safe and respected, no matter what they look like or who they are!
