O le a le Fa'amata'u?

Bullying is a serious issue that affects students of all ages and backgrounds. While there are many forms of bullying, we’ll be focusing on two primary categories: bullying and cyberbullying. Understanding these two types is important so we can all work together to create a safer and more respectful school environment.

“Fa'aleaga”—so’o se faiga tusitusia, tautala, ata, po’o se gaioiga fa’aletino e fa’atiga, fa’aleagaina, fa’alumaina pe fa’amata’u ai se tamaititi aoga, e aofia ai i latou o lo’o i ai tulaga puipuia o le vasega, ua lava le ogaoga, faifai pea, po’o le sosolo e fa’atupu ai se si’osi’omaga fa’amata’u, taufa’amata’u, po’o le sauaina.

Cyberbullying e mafai ona tupu:

  1. I luga o le lotoa, po'o isi nofoaga a le matagaluega, i felauaiga a le matagaluega, po'o le taimi o se fa'agaioiga po'o se fa'afiafiaga a le matagaluega i totonu po'o fafo atu o fanua a'oga;
  2. E ala i se faiga fa'amaumauga a le matagaluega e aunoa ma ni feso'ota'iga fa'atagaina a le matagaluega; pe
  3. E ala i se feso'ota'iga komepiuta i fafo atu o le lotoa, pe a a'afia le si'osi'omaga a'oga.

Additionally, cyberbullying may also be based on a person’s protected class, including but not limited to, a person’s race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, physical appearance and characteristics, and socio-economic status.
