Bullying is one of the most serious challenges schools face nowadays. Just because there’s more awareness and less tolerance about it, it’s far from stopping. Text messaging for schools can be a very valuable tool to promote activities to reduce this problem, and even help victims receive help before it escalates. Texting can also engage parents, teachers, and school staff; so everyone can cooperate to help with bullying.

3 Ideas to Use Text Messaging for Schools Against Bullying
Anti-Bullying Texting Programs
You can share and promote special text keywords for both students and parents to opt-in and report acts of bullying. This offers a safe, anonymous way for victims or their parents to prevent bullying while it’s happening. Students can even report them at the moment; whether if they’re being bullied or if they’re witnessing bullying anytime, anywhere in the school.
Once the messages are received through the specific keyword, authorities can take action: communicate with the victim, take disciplinary actions if the scenario calls for it, and more. Your anti-bullying line can even allow two-way texting so you can assist the victims or witnesses in the moment through texting communication.
Knowing they have instantaneous access to a figure of authority can give both victims and their parents an invaluable sense of security. At the same time, those students with not-so-good conducts will have more difficulty bullying others, as they’ll know they can be easily spotted and punished if they do so. Your school can increase its security measures and improve its reputation for a much lower price than if you invested in more security or other drastic measures.

Reporting Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying is especially cruel because it takes advantage of the internet’s anonymity to make fun and psychologically and morally hurt somebody. It can occur through SMS, apps, email, social media or even gaming platforms. Cyberbullies share negative, harmful, fake or just mean information about other school mates who can’t do much about it. Many children feel naturally embarrassed about these practices, which can sometimes cross the line into unlawful or even criminal behavior.
One solution from your school would be to provide a separated text keyword to sign up to report cyberbullying. No matter how embarrassing it is, victims can share images, links, and anything used against them online. And they can do it while keeping their anonymity and knowing there’s an authority on the other side that can take measures to do something about it.
Anti-bullying Quotes and Other Information
You can share simple, short inspirational messages and quotes to promote better thoughts and ideas among students. With this, you’re engaging both victims and, even more especially, problematic students. You probably know this, but behind bullying and similar violent conducts there’s usually children who don’t feel good about themselves nor have the social skills or contention to deal with their issues in a positive way.
You can also text messages including shortened links to resources like videos, publications, infographics, and any other materials that not only show that bullying is never OK nor should be tolerated, but also demonstrates that there are ways to cope with anger and frustration that don’t need to involve putting other people down.
