Abstract: This research output is a psychoeducational flyer developed as part of a study and educational intervention on bullying prevention among school-aged children. The material was designed to increase students' awareness of bullying, its psychological and emotional consequences, and appropriate strategies for responding to bullying situations.The flyer presents bullying from both the victim and peer/social perspectives. It highlights how verbal abuse, ridicule, exclusion, and other bullying behaviors may contribute to stress, reduced self-confidence, difficulties in concentration, emotional distress, and other negative psychological consequences. At the same time, the material promotes positive peer behavior, empathy, mutual respect, self-confidence, and supportive relationships within the school environment.The educational content includes ten key messages: the impact of bullying on psychological well-being and cognitive functioning; strategies for responding to verbal ridicule; procedures for reporting bullying to trusted adults or teachers; possible longer-term psychological effects; development of self-confidence; appreciation of individual differences; positive peer support; collective responsibility for preventing bullying; the importance of seeking help; and encouraging children to consciously choose respectful, supportive, and caring behavior.This flyer was developed as a visual psychoeducational instrument to facilitate communication with children using simple language, illustrations, and practical messages. It can be used as supporting material for school-based psychoeducation, community engagement activities, bullying-prevention programs, classroom discussions, and related research.The material emphasizes that bullying prevention should not focus solely on individuals who experience bullying, but should also address peer behavior and the social environment in which bullying occurs. The central message is that words and actions can cause psychological harm, while children and their communities can actively choose behaviors that create a safer, more supportive, and inclusive school environment.
