LCPS Bullying Policy & Education

The Code of Virginia § 22.1-276.01 defines bullying as “any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, arguments or peer conflict.” Bullying can take many forms, such as hitting or punching (physical bullying); teasing or name-calling (verbal bullying); intimidation using gestures or social exclusion (nonverbal bullying or emotional bullying), and sending insulting messages by phone or computer e-mail (cyberbullying).”

Bullying is a serious issue and should be addressed immediately. If you encounter a bullying situation, please speak up and contact your teacher or school principal immediately. This is very important so that steps can be taken to protect someone being bullied by keeping them safe and getting them the help they need.
