WHAT IS BULLYING?
Bullying is when someone:
• Is being hurt either by words or actions on purpose,
• Usually more than once,
• Feels bad because of it, and
• Has a hard time stopping what is happening to them
WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED?
If you are being bullied, the first thing you should know is that it's not your fault.
Nope. Not one bit. No one deserves to be bullied... EVER! There's a lot you can do:
• Know that you do not deserve what is happening
• Tell someone: a parent, teacher, or trusted adult
• Develop a plan, with the help of an adult, about how you can respond to the situation
• Decide—with the help of an adult—how other students might help
WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU SEE SOMEONE BEING BULLIED?
If you see someone being bullied:
• Speak Up! You should tell an adult. Telling is not tattling. It's okay to tell an adult when you
see bullying or are being bullied. In fact, it's a really smart thing to do!
• Reach Out! Tell the kid who is being bullied that they don't deserve to
be treated that way. Nobody does.
• Be a Friend! Let others know that you don't accept bullying at your school, and others will
be more willing to speak up, too. Ask friends to join you in being a kid against bullying
