Buddy+Program

The Buddy Program is when you bring a buddy wherever you go. If schools follow the Buddy Program, it will become safer. Instead of going alone through the hallways, or going to the bathroom alone, you bring a buddy with you, then your not scared of being alone and if two people need to go to the bathroom at the same time, they can go together and be buddies. It also helps with social skills because if your a shy person, when your with your "buddy" you can become more social, that doesn't mean that you can fool around because your teachers will lose trust in you and that means no more Buddy Program, which can make people feel unsafe again. Also, you can't necessarily go around in class asking people to be your buddy and disrupt the class, you just go up to the teacher and tell them where you need to go and they give you a buddy, and that doesn't mean they will be your buddy all the time, that depends on the teacher, they decide.
 * What is the Buddy Program**


 * The Buddy Program Rules**

1. Go to the teacher, not disrupting the class though, and tell them where you need to go.

2. They either assign you a "buddy" or they call someone up to go with you, it depends on the teachers decisions.

3. Then you go together to the place the person wants to go to, whether they have to go to the bathroom, or the office ect. It's important not to fool around when your walking through the hallways because you could disrupt other classes and the teachers will probably lose trust in you, and there might not be a Buddy Program anymore.

All you have to do is make an appointment with your counselor, principle, vice principle, ect. Then, you should probably have facts or things to convince them about considering the Buddy Program, you enter the appointment and explain your reasons of the Buddy Program, if they agree, make an assembly or announcement to introduce the Buddy Program to the school and teachers, but the teachers should have a meeting first so they have time to understand it. At first it might be confusing, that's why at that time everyone should be most helpful, but eventually over time everyone should get the hang of it and there should be no worries.
 * How To Make Your School Aware Of The Buddy Program**



Everyone will either change schools or go to another school at one point, so they should have a buddy right away to make it easier for them, you know, it's not always easy. Usually there are classes for specific people who get to be the newcomer's buddy, but you could be one too, even if your not in one of "those" classes. Let's say you see someone confused and seemingly lost in a hallway, you can become their "buddy" and go up to them and help them, you can show them to their class, hang out with them at lunch, and just be their friend. So you see, you can be a friend/buddy to anyone, and no one can stop you (as long as you are doing the right thing and at the same time that you are having fun)!
