First Term Test

Read the passage then do the activities.

Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. Bullying
can also be with words – saying or writing things that are not nice.
Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. (It
is better not to say ‘the bully’ and ‘the victim’ because that makes it sound like things can’t change.) Sometimes other
people help the bully or join in. Then there are the kids that support – they don’t bully anyone directly, but they support
the bullying by being an audience. They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why
it’s important for everyone to work together against bullying. Some children see what is happening and want to help,
although they don’t know how. Others may comfort and defend the person being bullied. To stop bullying we need
everyone to be brave and take a stand.
Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society – in other words, everyone. The next time you see
someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand! Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening – tell an adult as soon as
possible and help everyone to realize that bullying is not OK.
