19-23rd November 2007
The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2007 was bullying outside school, with a focus on Cyber Bullying.
There were two conferences for young people during the week on cyberbullying. Three or four young people from many schools came to learn more about cyberbullying and participate in activities and workshops.
The conferences were held on Tuesday 20th November (Key Stage 2) and Thursday 22nd November (Secondary) at the YMCA in Leicester.
The Anti-Bullying Team working in conjunction with various other local organisations created a booklet last year about bullying in the community. This booklet offers information and advice about all forms of bullying out of the school environment.
For those of you who attended this course in June, we have compiled a collection of raps which you created for you to use during anti-bullying week (or just to have a laugh at!)
RAP ONE:
So all you dudes
What have you learned?
Have your eyes wept
Or your stomach turned?
Be careful online
Know your worth
The message is.............
SAFE SURF SAFE TURF
RAP TWO
So now you dudes have listened to this
You can see what's gone a miss
Cyber bullying is not a game
See how it causes harm and pain
It's not clever, it's not cool
If you do it, you will be kicked out of school
If you do it, you will be kicked out of school.
RAP THREE
So all you dudes listen out there
Remember to love and remember to care
Words are powerful and words can hurt
You can stop it.....and that's a cert
Stamp out bullying with a helping hand
Don't let it happen
Do you understand??
RAP FOUR
So Jane realised it was all her fault
Her cyber bullying was just plain cruel
Jane sent out across the net
Messages of her regret
But it was all too late and Jane would have to live
With the guilt of what she did
With the guilt of what she did
RAP FIVE
Listen to the lesson of Many and Jane
It's about cyber bullying that we are trying to explain
(repeat)
Don't try to keep it to yourself inside
In someone else you must confide
(repeat)
Be more assertive, as it is quite cool
Make the bully feel like a fool
(repeat)
RAP SIX
So all you dudes
Just think long and hard
You're not that cool
You're not that hard
Just remember
What you do
When you see someone
Who needs help form you
So say it loud, say it from the top
See (see) Say (say) STOP!
RAP SEVEN
So all you dudes just start to think....
Who was cool?
Who was a fool?
Does Jane need help?
Is Jane worth your time?
Is Jane a good friend?
How will it end?
Is it your turn next?
Is it your turn next?
RAP EIGHT
So listen up to the moral of our tale
It's not cool to bully it's beyond pale
Jane knew that really it happened to her
She got no pleasure from being a super star
She got no pleasure form being a super star
RAP NINE
Jane wasn't cool
In fact she was a fool
Trying to make herself
popular at school
Sending messages out online
Cyber bullying - the scourge of our time
(x2)
