SEE SOMETHING, Say Something
SEE SOMETHING, Say Something
Students may hear or see things from other students that concern them or make them feel uncomfortable.
At BHS, we work very hard to ensure anonymity of anyone who reports something they've seen or heard that makes them feel unsafe or that may threaten the safety of others.
If you hear or see something that you feel is not right, say something to a teacher, the principal, the counselor, or any staff you feel comfortable with.

Social Media Safety For Teens
This checklist provides a great tool for students using online apps and social media accounts.
Many times, apps will update privacy settings and you may not realize or notice when that happens. Check your privacy settings regularly. Know who your friends, contacts, and followers are.
Messaging, gaming, and social media apps such as Roblox, Snapchat, and Discord can leave students vulnerable to receiving messages from strangers online.

Talking to kids when bad things happen
This infographic for parents suggests 10 steps to help reassure kids when a trauma has occurred. Trauma is subjective to each person and can be experienced differently and to varying degrees. When kids experience a traumatic event or have continuing trauma present, this can impact their learning capabilities, attention and focus, mood regulation, and classroom behaviors.

How to Help a Friend Who May Be Feeling Suicidal
How to Help a Friend Who May Be Feeling Suicidal
If you are concerned that a friend is having thoughts of suicide, but you don’t know if they are making concrete plans, calmly and directly tell them about your concern. Ask them something like, “I’ve noticed that you’re going through a really hard time. I am concerned that you may be considering suicide. Are you having suicidal thoughts or feeling suicidal?”
It may be a difficult conversation to have, but it’s important. It’s also important to understand that research clearly shows that asking someone about suicide does not inspire suicidal thoughts.
If a friend confides in you that they are having thoughts of suicide or planning to attempt suicide, there are some ways you can help.
Be supportive.
Take them seriously.
Encourage them to seek help.
Do not promise to keep it a secret.
Help them reach out for support.
Encourage them to stay away from mood-altering substances.
Remove dangerous items. Ask a trusted adult for help.
