Report all bullying incidents to your teacher, guidance counsellor, or other authorities.
There is no reason for you to ever put up with bullying.
Ask for support.
Think about who you can ask for help, starting with your family, friends, and teachers.
Track it.
Keep a journal and write down how you’re being bullied, who is doing it, and when it happens.
Save bullying messages, pictures, or copies of conversations.

What to do if you see someone being bullied
Speak up.

We all play a part in refusing to accept bullying behaviour.
Refuse to join in.
