Help teenagers recognise bullying, practise safer responses and think through when to involve trusted adults with printable bullying scenario cards made for discussion. The pack is suited to secondary school pupils, youth groups, counselling, social work sessions and therapy work where teens need concrete examples of online, social and face-to-face bullying.
In everyday pastoral work, counselling sessions and PSHE lessons, realistic bullying scenarios can make reflection easier than asking young people to talk directly about their own experiences. Each card gives a short situation followed by prompts that encourage problem-solving, empathy, bystander thinking and reporting.
The cards cover cyberbullying, peer pressure, exclusion, rumour spreading, body comments, racism or identity-based mocking, physical intimidation and privacy breaches. Examples include unkind nicknames in a group chat, photos posted without permission, being left out at lunch, private messages shared, fake accounts, online gaming chat abuse and anonymous messages before school.
Questions on the cards ask what boundaries have been crossed, what evidence should be saved, who could help, how friends can avoid making things worse, and what a safer first response might look like. The format supports role play, group discussion, restorative conversations and one-to-one work with teenagers.
Teachers, school counsellors, social workers, family support workers and youth workers could print and cut the cards for anti-bullying week activities, targeted small group work, mentoring sessions or safeguarding conversations. Parents and carers may also find them helpful for talking through digital safety, friendship issues and asking for help without lecturing.
