47. Healthy Habits “What you don’t talk out, you act out” The brain is not a muscle, but you can create some healthy habits that can help cope with pain that is associated with being bullied. A healthy practice to implement is to vent.

48. Venting Venting is releasing or transferring your emotions through words. Sample statements to use when venting: When he/she said _______, I felt ______. Whenever he/she makes fun of me, I feel like _________ (giving up, going home, skipping school, hitting him/her).

49. 5 (keys) To Venting 1.Analyze - Don’t react right away (take time to analyze your current situation) 2.Assume the best (Did they misinterpret what I said or did?) 3.Don’t take it personal (What’s wrong with me, instead, they must be going through some hard stuff, ex. iceberg)

50. 5 (keys) To Venting (cont.) 4.Act Upon Your Feelings - Don’t bottle up your feelings, find a release (art, journal, sports) 5.Don’t talk to everyone about issue. Pick an individual you trust. The goal is to release emotions, not relive them over and over.

51. Healthy Practice Tip Ask a close friend to tell you 3-5 positive characteristics that you have. Remember those positive characteristics the next time you’re bullied.
