Welcome students. Introduce the lesson: today we’ll learn what bullying is, why it matters, and how you can speak up safely using our tools.
Script: “Hi everyone! Bullying can happen anywhere – in hallways, online, or even in class. Today we’ll talk about how to spot it and stop it together.”

Define bullying clearly. Emphasize intent, repetition, and power imbalance.
Script: “Bullying is when someone repeatedly hurts or scares another person on purpose, often taking advantage of a power imbalance.”

Give concrete examples. Engage students by asking for quick thumbs-up if they’ve seen any of these.
Script: “Here are four common types. Give me a thumbs-up if you’ve seen or experienced any of these.”

Explain why bystanders matter. Encourage responsibility without blame.
Script: “Most bullying stops when someone speaks up. Even if you’re not directly involved, your voice can make a difference.”

Walk through reporting options step by step.
Script: “If you see or suspect bullying, here’s what you can do right now.”

Summarize and motivate. Remind students of their power to promote respect.
Script: “Together, we can stand up and speak out. Choose one reporting method today if you ever need it—your action matters!”
