What is bullying? |
Bullying is when someone keeps doing or saying things to have power over
another person.
|
| Some of the ways they bully other people are by: calling them names, saying
or writing nasty things about them, leaving them out of activities, not
talking to them, threatening them, making them feel uncomfortable or scared,
taking or damaging their things, hitting or kicking them, or making them do
things they don't want to do. |
| Have any of these things happened to you? Have you done any of these things
to someone else? Really, bullying is wrong behavior which makes the person
being bullied feel afraid or uncomfortable. |

What can you do
if you are being bullied? |
You've probably already tried ignoring the bully,
telling them to stop and walking away whenever the bullying starts.
If someone is bullying you, you should always tell an
adult you can trust. This isn't telling tales. You have a right to be safe
and adults can do things to get the bullying stopped.
Even if you think you've solved the problem on your
own, tell an adult anyway, in case it happens again.
An adult you can trust might be a teacher, school
principal, parent, someone from your family, or a friend's parent. If you
find it difficult to talk about being bullied, you might find it easier to
write down what's been happening to you and give it to an adult you trust. |
