Insider If you do your part, then you'll be setting an example for others. With one simple action, you could be the start of an anti-bullying movement! THROW A WEEKLY "HOMEWORK PARTY" Too much homework got you down? No problem. Just make it one of the best parts of your week by bringing friends into the mix! Try this out early in the year and keep it going as long as it works for you. • Make a pact with your pals at the beginning of the session to buckle down and work hard—with a few breaks, of course. You don't need someone yelling, ''I'M BOOOOOOORED!'' the whole time, right? • Put out healthy snacks to feed your brains. Maybe even pick a food to match what you're studying, like samosas or pakoras for a geography unit on India. Yum! • Take turns. Set a hosting schedule and rotate your study spot every week. STAND UP TO BULLYING Bullying is scary, but we don't need to be helpless. If you're being bullied, tell a parent or teacher right away. And if you're not, take action to help someone who is. • Be brave without picking a fi ght. For instance, if you see someone getting picked on, don't yell at the bullies. Instead, walk up and ask the kid in trouble something simple, like, "Hey, did you do the geometry homework?" Then help the kid walk away. • Offer to walk with a bullied kid between classes or after school so he or she spends less time alone. • Start an anti-bullying poster campaign with slogans like "Bullying Stops Here" and "No-Bullying Zone."
