Bullying can happen in many different ways. It can include teasing, being hurtful to someone, ignoring them or hurting them. It can also happen anytime – in person, online, on the phone, in class, on the bus, in your neighborhood or even in your home. Bullying is usually done by people who do not feel good about themselves. They often need to put others down to feel better about themselves.
Being bullied is hurtful, scary and confusing. When bullying is aggressive and physical, it can be dangerous. When it’s emotional – like name calling, or cyberbullying – it’s easy to feel alone.
If you’re being bullied or see someone being bullied, here are some things to do:
- Don’t let hurtful words beat you down.
- Be a friend - listen, support and speak up (especially if the situation is unsafe).
- Tell them to stop.
- Get off the internet! Avoid checking the internet (even though you want to).
- Delete accounts where you are bullied. Take a screen shot so that you can share it with your parents or others for evidence and support.
- Don’t respond to online bullies – getting into online conversations/chats can make you feel worse.
- Tell someone you trust – friend, parent, teacher, and mentor.
- Avoid “problematic areas” – areas around the neighborhood or school where bullying can happen.
- Safety in numbers - keep yourself surrounded by people.
