Lesson Content
Antisocial Behaviours
Antisocial behaviours are actions that disregard the well-being of others. examples are:
- Bullying: Hurting someone physically or emotionally.
- Stealing: Taking something without permission.
- Lying: Not telling the truth.
- Vandalism: Damaging property.
- Excluding others: Intentionally leaving someone out.
- Cyberbullying: Using electronic interaction to bully a person.
- Gossiping: Spreading rumors or talking negatively about others behind their backs.
These actions can make others feel sad, scared, or alone.
Consequences
Antisocial behaviours have negative consequences. Bullying can make someone feel scared. Stealing can lead to trouble with the police. It’s critically important to understand that our actions have results, and we are responsible for them.

Role-playing helps us learn how to handle situations positively. for example, if someone is being bullied, we can definitely help by talking to a teacher.
