A Year-Long Program for Building Confidence, Emotional Strength, and Nonviolent Conflict Resolution

Bullying is tough, but fighting back doesn’t have to mean using aggression. The Defeat the Bully Without Fighting Curriculum is a year-long program designed to help students handle bullying with confidence, emotional intelligence, and smart, nonviolent strategies.

Instead of reacting with anger or fear, students will learn how to stay calm, think clearly, and respond in ways that de-escalate conflict—without backing down.

This engaging, interactive curriculum gives students the time and support they need to develop strong conflict resolution skills, practice real-life strategies, and build emotional resilience that lasts far beyond the classroom.

Through role-playing, discussions, and reflective exercises, students will learn how to stand up for themselves and others in a way that prevents further bullying—without ever throwing a punch.
