How to Handle Bullying

If you’re being bullied, here are some things you might try:

• Tell a friend.
• Walk away.
• Chill out. Try hard not to show any emotion.
• Try not to be alone in places where the bully picks on you.
• Don’t fight back.
• Write it down. Keep track of what happens and what the bully says.
• Tell an adult.
• Report bullying at school to your teachers, school counselor, principal.

If you see someone being bullied, here are some things you can do:

• Remember that it’s not the victim’s fault.
• Don’t let the victim be alone.
• Tell an adult.

How to Handle Cyberbullying

• Never respond.
• Keep records. Print out everything and write down the date and time you found it.
• Go to the authorities. Tell your parents or school officials.
• You aren’t helpless

Bullying doesn’t have to be a fact of life. Adults don’t want it to go on in school. So if you’re the victim of a bully-or if you know someone who is-don’t wait. The sooner you act, the sooner the bullying will stop.
