We all know bullying goes on to some extent in every school but it's how it's dealt with that makes the difference.
If you are being bullied then tell someone you trust, whether that's a parent, older sibling, teacher or friend.
Bullying includes:
- Name calling
- Threats and intimidation
- Physical violence such as hitting, punching or shoving
- Damaging or taking things away that belong to you
- Sending you abusive or offensive phone calls, texts or emails
- Spreading rumours, whether that's verbally or on the internet
Help is at hand
