Bullying is Wrong

• Nobody has the right to hurt other people by hitting them, kicking them, calling hem names, spreading rumours about them or by doing anything which is intended to upset them.

• Bullies try to justify their actions by saying that it is their victim's fault for being different. They may pick on someone who is tall or small. fat or thin, or wears glasses or has a different accent, or another religion, or shy or clever, or good-looking or disabled or... any excuse will do, and if there is no difference then the bullies willinvent one.

•If this is happening to you, tell yourself it is not your fault and that it is the bullies who need to change and not you

What to do?

What not to do?

• Don't try to deal with the problem yourself

• Don't hit the bullies or fight back

• Always tell the truth. Don't exaggerate. If a small part of what you are saying is shown to be untrue, then it throws everything else in doubt

• Don't hide things from the adults you trust. Keeping things secret is the bullies' biggest weapon against you.
