Stand Strong: A Preteen’s Guide to Confidence and Handling Bullying A simple, practical, and friendly handbook to help you feel braver, stronger, and more in control. ________________________________________ Chapter 1: Notice What’s Really Happening Tip: Start by understanding what’s actually going on. Bullying can be sneaky. Sometimes it starts with small comments or actions that don’t seem like a big deal at first. But when something keeps happening and keeps hurting, it matters—and noticing it is your first superpower. Real-World Examples • Jordan’s Lunchtime Problem: Jordan kept feeling nervous before lunch. After paying attention for a few days, they realized a classmate made “funny” comments about Jordan’s hair every single day. • Tasha’s Bus Ride: Tasha noticed she always felt tense on the bus. She realized two kids were purposely blocking her seat so she would have to stand. What You Can Do • Pay attention to moments that feel wrong. • Ask yourself: Did this happen more than once? • Write down what happened—including who, where, and when. Quick Quiz 1. True or False: Bullying always includes physical harm. 2. What can you write down to help notice patterns? 3. True or False: “Jokes” that hurt your feelings can still be bullying. Summary You can’t fix something you can’t see. Noticing patterns gives you the power to act. ________________________________________ Chapter 2: Believe Your Feelings Tip: Your feelings are real and important.
