How does NJROTC address issues of bullying?

The approach of fostering a respectful and inclusive environment is key to how NJROTC addresses issues of bullying. This method creates a culture where all cadets are encouraged to treat each other with dignity and respect. By promoting inclusivity, NJROTC helps to build strong, supportive relationships among cadets, which can deter bullying behaviors.

When an environment is respectful, cadets feel safe to express themselves and are less likely to engage in or tolerate bullying. This proactive stance emphasizes education and awareness, encouraging cadets to speak up against bullying and support their peers.

The focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere inherently discourages negative behaviors, as individuals understand the importance of cooperation, teamwork, and respect. This holistic approach aligns with the core values of NJROTC, aiming to develop responsible leaders who prioritize the well-being of their comrades and the overall unit.
