Bullying

Last year more than 31,000 children and young people called childLine about bullying, making it the most common problem their counsellors helped young people with.

How to beat bullying Here are some ideas about how you can deal with bullying. Don’t ignore bullying – it won’t go away on its own and it may get worse.

  • Tell someone you trust – maybe a teacher, parent or friend
  • Remember – it’s not your fault. No one deserves to be bullied
  • Keep a record – and save any nasty texts or emails that you have been sent
  • Try to stay away from the bullies
  • Ask your mates to look out for you
  • Don’t retaliate – you could get into trouble or get hurt
  • Check your school’s anti-bullying policy. This will tell you what your school should do about bullying
  • Try to act more confident – even if you don’t feel it
  • Call ChildLine/Kidscape or other support organisation for extra help.
