You are NOT alone!
Many people will give you advice on what to do if you are being bullied. The most important message we can give you is the fact that YOU are NOT alone. Many children from all walks of life are being bullied for various reasons.
- The most important thing to do is: TALK to someone-find someone you trust that you can talk to. This can be anyone! A friend, teacher, parent, minster, neighbour, coach , etc. People NEED to know what is happening even if you feel scared or threatened. The more people in your life that know — the better!
- Keep a diary to write down your emotions-you need to let it out and NOT bottle it up.
- If possible, surround yourself with people you trust when walking to and from places.
- Walk away when you are faced with confrontation. Never try to handle the situation by yourself. Some will say for you to "speak up and stand up for yourself" This is true — however — it is more effective when you have friends with you to help support you.
