How to stop bullying

Here is some advice if you are being bullied:

The motto:
SPEAK OUT AND BE HEARD!

The fact that you are being bullied shouldn't be kept in, you shouldn't be scared of them. Telling someone will help solve the problem quickly: you'll will be free of bullying!

It is often good to tell someone you trust, so this can be anyone, like:
  • Your Mum, Dad
  • Older sister or brother
  • Auntie, Uncle
  • A teacher
  • School councillor 
Now you may be thinking these options are all adults however the alternative is that you can tell a close friend or someone else you are close to; this is so you can feel more comfortable :)

You can also talk to someone online or on the phone, their main focus is bullying so their ideas will help you a lot.

Advise if you have witnessed bullying:


If you have recently witnessed bullying you should;

  • Go and tell someone you trust about what you have witnessed
  • You can remain anonymous and tell the person you've told to not mention your name
  • If you see bullying in the classroom/ playground tell a teacher/ TA/ or  the school councillor immediately
  • If you are seeing the person getting bullied, talk to them and make friends that will put a smile on their face :)

If you are the BULLY:
  • Think carefully about the person you are hurting and how it affects them; imagine YOU in their shoes
  • Reconsider about what you are doing; don't give into peer pressure. If your friends are forcing you to do things you don't want to do, think about if they're your real friends
