Reporting repeated harassment at school or online

Learning goal

Ask for adult help without replying to or spreading hurtful messages.

A school situation

A class project chat repeatedly posts insulting messages about Jordan and excludes Jordan from project information.

Words the student could use

“I need help with repeated messages and being kept out of the project. Can we talk privately about a safe next step?”

Another situation

The first adult is unavailable, and Riley is worried about seeing the students at lunch.

What could the student ask or do?

One possible response

“I need an available adult now to help me with lunch today.” Riley goes to the office or another available school adult.

My school support card

I can point to or choose one: □ Show me the first step. □ Help me check the information. □ I need a private conversation. □ I need a pause with an adult.

My request: ________________________________________________

A school adult I can ask: ________________________________

If that adult is away: another available teacher, counselor, or office adult.

Words a school adult could use “Thank you for telling me. You do not have to face them or solve this yourself. We will use the school’s safety and reporting steps. Let’s choose a safe place and an available adult for today.”

If someone is threatening or hurting a student now, go to an available school adult right away. This is not a peer mediation activity.
