Pro-Social Summer

Being pro-social just means thinking about how your actions affect other people - and choosing to do things that help, not harm. 

It’s about making your community a better place for everyone… including you.

You don’t have to do anything huge. Even small actions show respect and make a big difference.

What Does That Look Like?

  • Volunteering or getting involved in things like the Scottish Youth Parliament
  • Not shouting or swearing in the street, especially around people who don’t know you
  • Keeping parks tidy and not wrecking play equipment - so everyone can enjoy them
  • At the beach? No drinking or fighting - leave only your footprints, not your rubbish
  • On the bus? Use earphones - not everyone wants to hear your music (however good it is!)
  • Don’t abuse people doing their jobs - they’re just trying to help
  • NEVER start fires or cause damage - it’s seriously dangerous and can ruin lives

What’s It All About?

It comes down to one word: RESPECT
Respect for others, for the community and for yourself.
Even if you don’t mean to upset anyone, your actions can still have consequences.

Want less anti-social behaviour around you?

Here's how you can help change things:

Think about how your choices affect other people and try to keep it positive.

Tell your local Councillor or MSP what your area needs - email them or go to a drop-in surgery.

Chat to your MSYP or even stand for election yourself!


Become an MSYP – Scottish Youth Parliament

Seen stuff like vandalism, drunk or threatening behaviour or loud noise?
 You can report it to your local council or the police:


Report antisocial behaviour – mygov.scot

Know who’s causing real harm (fires, violence, serious damage)?
 Speak up 100% anonymously - no one ever will know the information came from you

Give Information Anonymously

You’ve got a voice. You’ve got the power to make a difference.

So why not be part of something positive?
