2. What is Bullying?
Bullying is when an individual or group of people repeatedly and intentionally cause hurt or
harm to another person or group of people who feel helpless to respond. Don’t be afraid to
speak up or turn to an adult you trust for help. Talk to different people you trust until you get
the help you need and the bullying STOPS. Letting the situation continue and repeat more than
once can be dangerous.

NOBODY can determine or define who you are and how you feel. You
have the power to having a good day, feeling confident and standing up for
what is right…
• Tell someone, just talking about the situation will help and place
things in a different perspective. Talk to someone you trust like a
friend, parent or teacher who will take what you say seriously.
• Keep a log/record of each incident (include date and time)
• Reach out to a kids helpline or website. There are so many
resources online. You are not alone!
Don’t let Bullies win
• Act unimpressed. pretend not to notice if you’re excluded or say
something like, “yeah”, “whatever” or “Oh, OK ”
• Walk away
• Pretend to agree “yep, that’s what I’m like alright”, “Yeah, I’ve got
red hair, tried dyeing it but decided it was better red than green”…
• Look around for other friendship groups in or out of school.
