What you can do if you
are being bullied…
If it’s hard to stand up for yourself, ignore the bullying and walk away…then tell someone who can help
Talk to someone who can help: - an older student, your friends, classroom teacher, school counselor, school principal, sports coach, parents, or any adult you trust
It really does work when you talk to someone and get help.
You may have to tell more than one person…Don’t Give Up!
If you’re scared to talk to an adult on your own, ask a friend to go with you
Go to areas where you feel safe
Stay close to students you can count on to stick up for you
Look confident and tell the child who bullies to back off!!
…bullying is NOT cool!
Stay calm…try not to show that you are upset when being bullied
Be funny…using jokes shows the bully you’re not bothered
Be assertive, not aggressive…fighting back often makes the bullying worse
No one deserves to be bullied
YOU can help to make your school a better place by seeking help to stop bullying
If these tips work for you, pass them on to others
