A high school health education teacher overhears a group of students discussing a bullying incident that recently occurred at school. The teacher also notices a disturbing change in the behavior of the student who was bullied. Which of the following is the first step the teacher should take to address concerns about the student who was bullied?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Asking the student if the bullying is continuing and who else is involved is crucial for understanding the situation directly from the affected individual. This approach prioritizes the student’s perspective and emotional well-being, fostering a supportive environment.
Discussing actions with the principal (Option A) may delay immediate support for the student. Talking to other students (Option C) risks further alienating the bullied student and could escalate the situation. Calling the student’s parents (Option D) is important but should come after directly addressing the student’s immediate needs and feelings.
