Respect includes how you feel about someone and how you treat them
Having respect for someone means you think good things about who a person is or how he/she acts. For example, you can have respect for others by recognising their strengths or talents or by congratulating them when they do well at something instead of thinking badly about them for doing better than you.
At Lagan College, we expect our students to respect everyone, no matter what their differences might be, and to treat any people they meet in the college with respect. Always say “please” and “thank you”, and always use “Miss” or “Sir” when speaking to a teacher.

Showing respect to someone means you act in a way that shows you care about their feelings and well-being. It includes things like not calling people mean names, being polite and well-mannered, and making sure everyone feels included and cared for in your class. It can also mean standing up for someone if you see other people making fun of them or leaving them out of activities.
As well as having respect for other people, you should also have respect for yourself. This means caring enough about yourself that you don't do things you know can hurt you. It also means being proud of who you are - your background, beliefs, strengths and talents - but not in a way that involves showing off or thinking you are better than others because of them.
