Editor's Notes
Accidents are not bullying
A one off angry outburst is not bullying
If there is no power unbalance, or size difference, or age difference it probably isn’t bullying.
If something unpleasant is done to you often, and you don’t like it, over time, that is likely to be very harmful.
Do you know about someone getting bullied? What did you do? Are you a bystander who lets someone else get bullied?
Practice saying this.
Show respect for others by looking after them.
Show respect for yourself by doing the right thing.
Being resourceful is about using all of the resources available to you - there are lots of ways to tell someone. Write a note. Ring them up.
There are lots of different people to tell - a friend, a parent, a sibling, a cousin, a neighbour, a teacher, phone a helpline.
Being resilient is about being persistent - not giving up. Don’t stop telling others about things that are happening. If it happens again, tell again. Sometimes adults are so busy doing adult things that they need to be told things again and again…. Be persistent and don’t give up when you are doing something important.
