What should I do if I get bullied?

Bullying

  • Walk away or stay in a group. You're less likely to be bullied when there are other people around. Bullies don't like witnesses.
  • Tell someone you trust like a parent, teacher or friend. You will feel better and you can think of ways to beat the bully together.
  • Practise at home saying "no" or "leave me alone". If someone says "you're ugly", say "thank you".
  • Write a note to someone if you find it hard to say how you are feeling. Also, keep a diary of what kind of bullying is happening and when it is happening. This can be used as 'evidence' when you tell someone.
