Being Bullied?
Act Against Bullying was founded to help young people like yourself who may be being bullied at school.
We know that if you are being bullied you may be too frightened to tell anyone. You don't want to cause trouble for other people or upset your parents. You don't want to cause yourself more trouble. So you just hope the bullying will stop. We understand that. Maybe you are being bullied by someone you considered to be a friend or wish to remain a friend. Or an adult you thought you could trust. At times like this you can feel that there is no one to turn to and that no one will understand how you are feeling. We will try to help.Maybe they:tease youpush you aroundhide your thingshit youspread bad rumours about youSometimes bullies:ignore youleave you out of eventsmake you do dangerous thingsforce you to hand over your thingsmake you be nasty to other peopleChildren get bullied in many different ways and different places. And it's not just at school, is it? Maybe you are being bullied on the way, say on the bus or after school hours. Or they organise events out of school and exclude you so that you are stopped from being with your friends. If they meet you out of school they humiliate your or hit you when no one is looking.
Sometimes bullies:call you rude namesforce you to tell liestell people that you are telling liesAdults can also bully you. They can do it by making you feel silly or embarrassed in front of other people or by shouting and scaring youIt can be very difficult to do something about it especially if the bully is the one you would normally go to about being bullied.
