Tecumseh Middle School recently hosted Mr. Jim Bisenius, a child and adolescent therapist, who taught students strategies to bully-proof themselves. Mr. Bisenius gave students specific strategies including dealing with verbal and physical bullying through body language.
During Mr. Bisenius’s presentation, students learned never to give a bully attention. They also learned the importance of never saying anything back to a person that is bullying them.
Lastly, students learned about the “Controller” and how to manage cyber-bullying. The visit was concluded with a parent meeting that evening. All parents in grades K-12 were invited to learn effective strategies to deal with bullying.
