Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears jeans and an orange T-shirt.

Laura is in her twenties, with above the shoulders straight brown hair with bangs and wears jeans and a purple T-shirt.

As a song plays, Lucas and Laura walk in the woods, cross a bridge, balance on a fallen tree trunk, cross a stream, run across the city and in a park full of geese.

The song says PACK UP YOUR BAGS
KISS YOUR TURTLE GOODBYE
COME UP AND CLIMB
WHERE WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
SO MUCH TO SEE
SO MUCH TO DO
IN OUR TREE FORT
WE GOT A SHOW FOR
THAT TVOKIDS, THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW

Laura says PASSWORD PLEASE.
[FWEET!]

Lucas whispers something in Laura's ear as a caption reads "Help."

In animation, a dialogue bubble pop out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show."

The song continues LA, LA, LA, DO, DO, DO,
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW!, BLAH
THAT TVOkids SHOW

Lucas and Laura sit at the tree fort with a guest.

Lucas says WELCOME TO THE TREE FORT,
TVOkids.
YOU GUYS ARE HANGING OUT WITH
LUCAS.

Laura says AND LAURA.
AND WE'VE GOT A VERY SPECIAL
GUEST IN THE TREE FORT TODAY.
WE'RE TALKING ALL ABOUT BULLYING
THIS WEEK.
IT'S BULLYING AWARENESS WEEK,
SO WE'VE GOT MARISSA FROM
KIDS HELP PHONE.

A caption reads "Marissa. Kids Help Phone."

Marissa is in her early twenties, with long slightly wavy blond hair and she wears glasses, jeans and a graphic bleu T-shirt.

Marissa says HI.

Z CAN YOU TELL US WHAT KIDS HELP
PHONE IS?

Marissa says FOR SURE.

Lucas says COOL.

Marissa says KIDS HELP PHONE IS A 24-7
NATIONAL SUPPORT SERVICE.
YOU CAN REACH OUT TO US BY
PHONE, CHAT, OR YOU CAN EVEN
TEXT IN AND TALK WITH A
COUNSELLOR.

Lucas says COOL.
SO IF YOU NEED HELP WITH
ANYTHING, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO
KIDS HELP PHONE, RIGHT?

Marissa says ABSOLUTELY.
ANY TIME.

Laura says AND TVOkids, Y-OU CAN ACTUALLY
CALL IN TODAY RIGHT NOW AND TALK
TO US IF YOU'VE GOT ANY-
QUESTIONS FOR MARISSA AS WELL.

The caption changes to "Call us at 1-888-886-5437."

Lucas says TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR
QUESTIONS, CALL THIS NUMBER
RIGHT HERE AND WE WILL HOPE TO
TALK TO YOU TODAY IN THE TREE
FORT.
BUT FOR NOW, WE WANT TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT BULLYING IS.

Laura says YEAH, BULLYING, I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT
IT.
I KNOW WE'VE TALKED... I WAS
BULLIED WHEN I WAS GROWING UP AS
WELL.
I REMEMBER I THINK I WAS IN
GRADE 4 AND I DECIDED I REALLY
WANTED TO CUT MY HAIR SHORT.
I JUST REALLY LIKED THE WAY IT
LOOKED, SO I DID IT, BUT THEN
KIDS AT SCHOOL STARTED SAYING
THAT I LOOKED LIKE A BOY, AND I
REMEMBER IT REALLY HURT MY
FEELINGS.
IT WAS HARD.

Lucas says WOW, YEAH.
THAT CAN BE HARD, I'M SURE.
WHEN I WAS A KID I WAS BULLIED
AS WELL.
I WAS A LITTLE BIT OVER-WEIGHT,
AND SO KIDS USED TO CALL ME
PIGGY, AND I USED TO FEEL SHY AS
A KID, TALKING TO PEOPLE, AND I
FOUND IT REALLY HARD.

Laura says DEFINITELY, YEAH.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO SOME
TVOkids TODAY AS WELL.
SO WE'VE GOT ASMA ON THE LINE.
[BEEPING]

Lucas says WE LOST ASMA SO SOON.
OH, NO.

Laura says WE WERE GOING TO ASK HER WHAT
IS BULLYING.
BECAUSE IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT IT ALL DAY, WE SHOULD
KIND OF BREAK DOWN WHAT THAT
EVEN MEANS, RIGHT?

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT. AND WE ASKED
YOU TVOkids TO GO TO TVOkids.COM
AND YOU TOLD US WHAT YOU THINK
BULLYING IS.
MARISSA, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
THIS IS WHAT THE TVOkids SAID.

Laura says CHECK IT OUT.
BULLYING IS WHEN PEOPLE PUSH YOU
DOWN, FROM NOAH AGE 5.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.
OKAY, GREAT ANSWER.
BULLYING IS WHEN YOU MAKE FUN OF
SOMEONE OR MAKE THEM FEEL BAD
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Laura says HMM.

Lucas says GREAT ANSWERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?

Marissa says I THINK THOSE ARE ALL REALLY
SPOT ON, YOU KNOW.

Lucas says YEAH.

Laura says IT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN IT
HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
RIGHT?

Marissa says YEAH.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S
CONTINUOUS.
IT'S REPETITIVE, AND IT'S REALLY
WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PUT
YOU DOWN, HURT YOU, SCARE YOU.
AND THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
TYPES OF BULLYING.
THERE'S PHYSICAL BULLYING,
EMOTIONAL BULLYING, SOCIAL
EXCLUSION, AND EVEN
CYBERBULLYING IS ALL OVER THE
PLACE.

Laura says YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Laura says OKAY, WELL, TVOkids, WE
ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SCENARIOS
THAT WE WANTED TO CHECK OUT
TODAY AS WELL.

Lucas says MM-HM.
THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH THIS FIRST
SCENARIO.

A clip shows Lucas at the school cafeteria.

As Evan, Lucas says HMM, LUNCHTIME.

Laura comes along and says HEY, EVAN, WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?

Lucas says HEY, STACY...

She snatches his lunch and says ACTUALLY, I'M GOING TO CHECK
MYSELF, LOSER.

Evan says STACY, I'M REALLY HUNGRY!
SHE ALWAYS STEALS MY LUNCH.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Laura says HMM.

Lucas says OKAY, SOMEONE'S TAKING THEIR
LUNCH, RIGHT?
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN AT
SCHOOL.

Laura says YEAH, DEFINITELY.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE VIENNA ON THE LINE TO
TALK TO US ABOUT THIS SCENARIO.
HEY, VIENNA.

Marissa says HI, VIENNA.

Lucas says HI, VIENNA?
VIENNA!

Vienna says HI.

Lucas says OH, HEY.

Laura says VIENNA, ARE YOU THERE?

Vienna says HELLO.

Laura says HI, VIENNA.

Vienna says HI.

The caption changes to "Viena. Age 8."

Laura says AMAZING, WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE
THAT SCENARIO THERE?

Vienna says YEP.

Lucas says SO WHAT DID YOU THINK?
WHAT SHOULD THIS PERSON DO IF
THEIR LUNCH IS GETTING STOLEN?

Vienna says UMM, I THINK THEY SHOULD TELL
THE TEACHER.

Laura says TELL A TEACHER.

Lucas says TELL A TEACHER.
OKAY, HANG TIGHT, STAY ON THE
LINE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS,
MARISSA?

Marissa says YEAH, VIENNA, THAT'S EXACTLY
THE RIGHT THING.
IT'S A GREAT THING TO START
WITH, TALKING TO A TRUSTED
ADULT, AND YOUR TEACHER MIGHT BE
THAT PERSON.

Laura says COOL.

Lucas says AWESOME.
AND WHAT IF YOU DON'T FEEL
SAFE TALKING TO A TEACHER?
IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE YOU
SUGGEST WE COULD DO?

Marissa says YEAH, FOR SURE, IT CAN BE
HARD TO REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY
AND YOU DON'T ALWAYS FEEL
COMFORTABLE TALKING TO A
TEACHER.
ONE OPTION YOU HAVE IS KIDS HELP
PHONE.
YOU CAN TALK TO US, OR ANY OTHER
TRUSTED ADULT THAT YOU HAVE OR
MAYBE IT'S A FRIEND WHERE YOU
START TO TALK TO.
WHOEVER THAT PERSON IS, IF YOU
FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING WITH
THEM.

Lucas says COOL.
FIND A PLACE YOU FEEL
COMFORTABLE.
I LOVE THAT.

Laura says VIENNA, DID YOU HAVE ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MARISSA?

Vienna says WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEBODY
STEALS YOUR MONEY?

Marissa says YEAH.

Laura says OKAY, SOMEBODY STEALS YOUR
MONEY.

Marissa says THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, AND
NOBODY SHOULD EVER BE TAKING
YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR YOUR
MONEY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT COOL.
SO DEFINITELY TALKING TO A
TEACHER, TELLING THEM WHAT
HAPPENED AND ASKING THAT BULLY
TO STOP IF YOU FEEL SAFE TO DO
SO.

Lucas says RIGHT, OKAY, THAT'S AWESOME.
THANKS FOR TALKING TO US,
VIENNA.
WE KNOW IT'S NOT EASY TALKING
ABOUT BULLYING ALWAYS.
WE APPRECIATE TALKING TO YOU FOR
SURE.

Laura says THANKS, VIENNA.

Marissa says BYE, VIENNA.

Vienna says BYE.

Laura says TVOkids, WE ALSO WENT TO
TVOkids.com TO ASK WHY DO KIDS
BULLY.

Lucas says THAT'S SUCH A GREAT QUESTION.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GUYS HAD TO
SAY.

They read a quote on a slate and says KIDS BULLY FOR THE FUN OF
WATCHING OTHERS STRUGGLE.
AND SOMETIMES IF SOMETHING IS
GOING ON IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY
DON'T LIKE, THEY MIGHT WANT TO
HURT PEOPLE TO FEEL BETTER.
THAT'S FROM MAIAH, AGE 10.

Laura says AWESOME, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER
ANSWER HERE FROM ANOTHER TVOkid,
BECAUSE THEY FEEL BAD ABOUT
THEMSELVES.

Lucas says COOL, INTERESTING ANSWERS.
MARISSA, YOU MIGHT KNOW BEST.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Marissa says YEAH, THOSE ARE DEFINITELY
SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE BULLY.
THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS, AND
WE NEVER REALLY KNOW UNLESS WE
TALK TO THAT PERSON AND GET AN
IDEA OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Marissa says IT COULD BE MAKING THEM FEEL
MORE POWERFUL, THEY COULD BE
BULLIED THEMSELVES AT HOME.
THERE COULD BE SO MANY REASONS,
BUT NO MATTER WHAT THAT REASON
IS, IT'S NEVER OKAY TO BULLY
SOMEBODY.

Laura says RIGHT.

Marissa says SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO GIVE
SPACE TO TALK, BUT ALSO TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THE BEHAVIOUR
ISN'T COOL.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Laura says YEAH, TOTALLY.

Lucas says SO DO YOU THINK THERE'S VALUE
IN FINDING OUT WHY SOMEONE IS
BULLYING, EMPATHIZING WITH THE
BULLY AT ALL?

Marissa says YEAH, DEFINITELY.
IT CAN HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT PERSON IS
COMING FROM AND THAT THERE ARE
THINGS GOING ON IN EVERYBODY'S
LIVES.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Marissa says AND IT CAN HELP YOU TO MAYBE
SUPPORT THAT PERSON TOO IF IT'S
SOMETHING THAT FEELS
COMFORTABLE.

Lucas says COOL, OKAY, I LOVE THAT.
THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER.

Laura says OKAY, TVOkids, LET'S CHECK
OUT ANOTHER BULLYING SCENARIO.

At a school courtyard, Evan says HEY, DO YOU WANT TO PLAY FOUR
SQUARE?

Stacy says SURE.
DON'T WE NEED A COUPLE MORE
PEOPLE.

Evan says YEAH, LET'S GO FIND...

Daniel comes along, slaps the ball off Evan's hands and says LOSER!

Stacy says HE ALWAYS CALLS MY BEST
FRIEND NAMES.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Lucas says OKAY, SO THIS PERSON IT SEEMS
TO ME IS THE BYSTANDER IN THE
SITUATION.

Laura says TOTALLY.
AND WE HAVE JATHU ON THE LINE.
JATHU, ARE YOU THERE?

Lucas says HI, JATHU.

Jathu says HI.

Lucas says DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO SEE
THIS SCENARIO?

Jathu says YES.

The caption changes to "Jathu. Age 9."

Lucas says SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
WHAT SHOULD THIS PERSON DO?

Jathu says MAYBE THE PERSON SHOULD,
LIKE, GO AND TELL THE OTHER
PERSON WHO, LIKE, CALLS THE
OTHER PERSON THE NAME THAT... TO
STOP AND IT'S NOT RIGHT TO DO
THAT.
AND IF THE PERSON JUST IGNORES
WHAT THE OTHER PERSON SAID, JUST
THE OTHER PERSON SHOULD JUST GO
AND TELL ANOTHER TEACHER AND
MAKE THE TEACHER HELP SOLVE THE
PROBLEM.

Lucas says GREAT ANSWER.

Laura says AWESOME.
SO, YEAH, A COUPLE DIFFERENT
OPTIONS YOU'VE ACTUALLY GIVEN
THERE.
MARISSA, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Marissa says YEAH, I THINK YOU GAVE A
GREAT ANSWER.
YOU GAVE SO MANY OPTIONS, AND
THEY'RE ALL REALLY GREAT
OPTIONS.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU FEEL
COMFORTABLE STANDING UP TO THAT
BULLY, IT CAN REALLY HELP GIVING
POWER IN NUMBERS, YOU KNOW,
LETTING THEM KNOW THAT THEIR
BEHAVIOUR ISN'T OKAY, AND IT CAN
HELP THE PERSON THAT IS BEING
BULLIED BY LETTING THEM KNOW
THAT SOMEBODY ELSE UNDERSTANDS
THAT THAT BULLY... OR THAT
BEHAVIOUR ISN'T OKAY.

Lucas says YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY IF
THAT WERE ME BEING BULLIED AND
MY FRIEND STOOD UP FOR ME, I
WOULD FEEL A LOT BETTER BECAUSE
I KNEW I HAD A SUPPORT GROUP.

Laura says ABSOLUTELY.
IT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER TO
KNOW YOUR FRIENDS ARE STANDING
UP FOR YOU AND ARE THERE AS
WELL.

Lucas says JATHU, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR MARISSA?

Jathu says YES.

Lucas says AWESOME, WHAT IS IT?

Marissa says WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?

Jathu says WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GOT
BULLIED AND THEN AFTER THAT THE
BULLY DOESN'T STOP AND YOU KEEP
TELLING AND TELLING BUT THEY
DON'T STOP, AND WHEN YOU TELL A
TEACHER, THEY PRETEND TO STOP
BUT THEY NEVER STOP AND THEN YOU
KEEP TRYING BUT THEY NEVER, EVER
STOP AND THEY SAY MEAN WORDS OR
INAPPROPRIATE WORDS TO YOU?

Laura says HMM.
KIND OF IT KEEPS GOING NO MATTER
HOW MANY TIMES YOU'VE TRIED TO
MAKE IT TO STOP.

Marissa says YEAH, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION, AND IT'S REALLY TOUGH
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING ALL OF THESE
THINGS AND REALLY TRYING TO GET
THIS BULLY TO STOP THAT
BEHAVIOUR.
BUT DEFINITELY KEEP REACHING
OUT.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP REACHING
OUT.
BECAUSE IF ONE PERSON DOESN'T
HELP, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE
NEXT PERSON ISN'T GOING TO BE
ABLE TO DO SOMETHING.

Laura says SO DON'T GIVE UP.

Marissa says EXACTLY, EXACTLY.
AND TRYING TO AVOID THAT BULLY
AND IGNORE THAT BULLY AND, YOU
KNOW, TRY AND USE A BUDDY
SYSTEM.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
CAN MAKE IT MORE BEARABLE.

Lucas says COOL.
SO WHAT ABOUT ANY COPING
MECHANISMS?
SAY YOU'RE NOT FEELING SO GOOD
IN THE MOMENT AND YOU JUST WANT
TO FEEL GOOD?
WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Marissa says THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
KIND OF INDIVIDUAL TO EACH
PERSON, BUT REALLY LOOKING AT
THOSE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE THAT
HELP YOU TO FEEL GOOD.

Lucas says OKAY.

Marissa says WHETHER IT'S YOU LIKE TO SING
OR DRAW OR DO SOMETHING CREATIVE
OR, YOU KNOW, PLAY A SPORT, TALK
WITH A FRIEND.

Lucas says YEAH.

Marissa says BUT REALLY LOOKING AT HOW
YOU'VE COPED WITH DIFFICULT
TIMES IN THE PAST AND FINDING
SOMEONE TO TALK TO.

Laura says AWESOME.

Lucas says I LOVE THAT.

Laura says FINDING THOSE OUTLETS THAT
BRING YOU JOY.

Lucas says I LOVE THAT.
WHEN I WAS A KID AND I USED TO
GET FRUSTRATED, I ALWAYS USED TO
PLAY MUSIC AND THAT HELPED ME
OUT A LOT.

Laura says TOTALLY.

Lucas says YEAH, COOL.
I THINK WE'VE GOT ANOTHER...

Laura says WE'VE GOT ANOTHER SCENARIO.

Lucas says WE TOTALLY DO.

Laura says CHECK IT OUT.

At the hallway, Evan pushes Stacy and says HEY, MOVE IT OR LOSE IT,
PUNK.
I GOT TO GET TO CLASS.

Stacy says STOP PUSHING ME.

Evan says IT'S NOT THE SLOW HALLWAY.
I PUSH THIS KID AROUND EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M SO ANGRY.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Lucas says HMM.

Laura says SO KIND OF LOOKING AT THIS
FROM THE BULLY'S PERSPECTIVE,
RIGHT?

Lucas says YEAH, MAYBE THEY DON'T KNOW
WHY THEY'RE DOING THIS, BUT THEY
CAN RECOGNIZE THAT THEY FEEL
ANGRY, LET'S CHECK IN WITH
SAMEEHA WHO HAS AN ANSWER.
HEY, SAMEEHA.

Laura says HEY, SAMEEHA.

Sameeha says HI.

The caption changes to "Sameeha. Age 10."

Laura says WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE THAT
BULLYING SCENARIO?

Sameeha says YEAH.

Laura says AWESOME, WHAT DID YOU THINK
OF IT?

Sameeha says I THINK THAT MAYBE HE WAS NOT
GETTING, LIKE, A NAP OR A GOOD
NIGHT'S SLEEP AND HAVING A BAD
DAY.

Laura says OKAY, SO MAYBE THERE'S
SOMETHING GOING ON AT HOME FOR
THAT BULLY THAT WAS MAKING THEM
ANGRY?

Lucas says IN THEIR LIFE?
GREAT ANSWER.
THOUGHTS, MARISSA?

Marissa says YEAH, YOU KNOW, THAT CAN
DEFINITELY BE A REASON WHY
SOMEBODY IS HAVING A BAD DAY OR,
YOU KNOW, ANGRY THAT DAY BECAUSE
SOMETHING COULD BE HAPPENING IN
THEIR LIFE, SO YOU'RE SPOT ON IN
THAT.

Laura says MM-HM.

Marissa says BUT YEAH, KIND OF... GO
AHEAD.

Laura says OH, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY
LIKE YOU MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE
MIGHT BE SOMETHING GOING ON FOR
THAT BULLY, BUT IT STILL DOESN'T
MEAN IT'S RIGHT, RIGHT?

Marissa says ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S NEVER A REASON TO
JUSTIFY BEING MEAN TO SOMEBODY.
BUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THAT
PERSON IS HAVING THAT BULLYING
BEHAVIOUR CAN DO IS MAYBE TRY TO
TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS
THAT ARE GOING ON, OR FINDING A
DIFFERENT WAY TO DIRECT THAT
ENERGY.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Laura says RIGHT.

Lucas says COOL.
WELL, THANKS FOR TALKING TO US,
SAMEEHA.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Laura says THANKS, SAMEEHA.
TVOkids, WE ALSO WENT TO
TVOkids.com TO ASK YOU.

Lucas says HOW DO WE STOP BULLYING.

Laura says YEAH.

Lucas says YEAH, LET'S SEE WHAT YOU HAD
TO SAY.

Laura reads an answer and says I'M TIA.
I'M 9 YEARS OLD AND I STOP
BULLYING BY HELPING THE PERSON
WHO BULLIED.
I DO THAT BY CHEERING THEM UP.

Lucas says OH, I LOVE THAT.
THAT IS SO COOL.

He reads another answer and says YOU STAND UP TO THE PERSON WHO'S
BULLYING YOU AND YOU SAY STOP, I
DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
AND DOING. AS YOU SAID,
MARISSA, IF YOU FEEL SAFE TO
DO THIS, THIS IS A GREAT
ANSWER, RIGHT?

Marissa says YEAH, DEFINITELY.

Laura says ONE MORE.
YOU CAN STOP BULLYING BY WALKING
AWAY FROM THEM AND IGNORING
THEM, OR TELL THEM TO STOP.
IF IT DOESN'T WORK, TELL A
GROWN-UP.

Lucas says HEY.

Laura says AWESOME.

Lucas says SO WE'RE COMING FULL CIRCLE,
HEY?

Marissa says YEAH, DEFINITELY.

Lucas says GOOD.

Laura says I THINK WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
TVOkid ON THE LINE.

Lucas says THAT'S RIGHT.
HEY, DEREK, ARE YOU THERE?

Laura says HEY, DEREK.

Derek says HI.

Lucas says HI.
OKAY, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION FOR
MARISSA?

The caption changes to "Derek. Age 8."

Derek says WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE
BULLIED?

Lucas says WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE
BULLIED?
GREAT QUESTION.

Marissa says THAT IS A REALLY GREAT
QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, IT WILL FEEL DIFFERENT
FOR EVERYBODY, BUT A LOT OF
COMMON FEELINGS ARE... YOU KNOW,
IT HURTS, AND IT CAN MAKE YOU
FEEL SAD.
SOME PEOPLE IT CAN REALLY LOWER
THEIR SELF-ESTEEM.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Marissa says AND IT CAN BE REALLY
FRUSTRATING WHEN SOMEBODY WON'T
STOP BEING MEAN TO YOU.
SO THERE ARE SO MANY FEELINGS
THAT COULD COME UP.

Lucas says AND WHAT IF THAT PERSON
DOESN'T REALIZE THEY ARE BEING
MEAN TO YOU.
MAYBE IT'S A FRIEND WHO IS
POKING FUN AT YOU AND IT
ACTUALLY HURTS YOUR FEELINGS.
IS THAT CONSIDERED BULLYING?

Marissa says IT CAN BE CONSIDERED
BULLYING, BUT IF IT'S COMING
FROM A FRIEND AND IT'S SOMEONE
YOU HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP
WITH, IF SOMETHING'S BOTHERING
WITH YOU, IT'S IMPORTANT TO
COMMUNICATE THAT WITH THEM AND
LET THEM KNOW IT IS HURTING YOUR
FEELINGS.

Lucas says I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTIONS, DEREK.
IT SEEMS WE WANT TO TALK TO
PEOPLE AND NOT BOTTLE THINGS UP
AND MAKE SURE OUR FEELINGS ARE
OUT THERE.

Laura says WHICH IS WHY I THINK IT'S SO
IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IT TODAY BECAUSE AS WE
MENTIONED, SOMETIMES THAT'S THE
FIRST STEP TO STOPPING BULLYING,
RIGHT?

Marissa says ABSOLUTELY.

Laura says ACTUALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT
IT.

Lucas says RIGHT.
COOL.
I LOVE THAT.
ANY FINAL WORDS ON STOPPING
BULLYING?

Marissa says YOU KNOW, JUST DEFINITELY
REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE, TALKING
ABOUT IT, FINDING THINGS THAT
FEEL GOOD FOR YOU, AND
SUPPORTING OTHER PEOPLE IF YOU
SEE BULLYING HAPPEN.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Marissa says WHETHER IT'S TELLING AN ADULT
OR SUPPORTING THAT PERSON AFTER,
OR TELLING THE BULLY TO STOP.

Lucas says RIGHT, AND WHAT IF SOMEBODY
DOES STOP?
HOW COULD SHOULD YOU REACT TO
THAT?
IS IT FORGIVENESS?
MAYBE WE CAN MAKE FRIENDS OUT OF
THAT'S SNARE JOES?

Marissa says IT'S DEFINITELY A POSSIBLE,
AND IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT YOU
FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.
IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING
FRIENDS WITH THAT PERSON AFTER,
THAT'S COOL, BUT WE DEFINITELY
DON'T EVER WANT TO HAVE BULLYING
BEHAVIOUR BACK TO THAT PERSON.

Lucas says RIGHT.

Marissa says BUT YEAH.

Lucas says OKAY, COOL.

Laura says AWESOME.

Lucas says VERY QUICKLY BEFORE WE GO,
TELL US ONCE AGAIN WHAT KIDS
HELP PHONE IS.

Marissa says YES, SO KIDS HELP PHONE IS A
24-7 NATIONAL SERVICE.
YOU CAN REACH OUT TO US OVER
PHONE, CHAT, OR YOU CAN REACH
OUT TO US VIA TEXT AS WELL.

Laura says AWESOME.

Lucas says GOT IT.

Laura says THAT IS SO GREAT TO KNOW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US,
MARISSA.

Lucas says YEAH, THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
TVOkids, THANKS FOR BEING BRAVE
AND TALKING TO US ABOUT BULLYING
PREVENTION WEEK. IT'S GOING TO
BE A GREAT WEEK. HIGH FIVE,
MARISSA, YOU'RE AWESOME.
