Bullying is defined as: unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Simply put, Bullying is when you keep picking on someone because you think you’re cooler, smarter, stronger or better than them. Bullying is not acceptable in any civil society, AND IT IS NOT TOLERATED HERE AT ST. MARY'S. Respect is for others one of our core beliefs here at St. Mary's; bullying others is a complete violation of that belief.

Any student who engages in bullying here at St. Mary's is risking a suspension &/or possible expulsion from school. Engaging in bullying not only can cause long-lasting pain for the victim, it may follow the bully for the rest of their life.

Earlier this week, the Boston Bruins signed 20 year old Mitchell Miller to a contract, only to rescind it two days later after receiving significant criticism from players as well as others over Miller's bullying of another student when both were 14 years old. Back in 2020, the Arizona Coyotes drafted Miller, only to rescind their rights to him once learning of the bullying incident. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stated this week that Miller was not welcome in the NHL, and that he was not eligible to join the NHL at this time.

If you see someone being bullied, say something. Seeing someone being bullied and not doing anything is being an accomplice to the bully.

If you are being bullied, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact any staff member here at St. Mary's. You have my word that we WILL help you, and that the bullying WILL stop.
