BULLYING

Don't Suffer in Silence

Information for pupils

 [ Home ]

If you are being bullied:

• Try to stay calm and look as confident as you can
• Be firm and clear — look them in the eye and tell them to stop
• Get away from the situation as quickly as possible
• Tell an adult what has happened straight away

After you have been bullied:

• Tell a teacher or another adult in your school
• Tell your family
• If you are scared to tell an adult by yourself, ask a friend to come with you
• Keep speaking up until someone listens and does something to stop the bullying
• If your school has a peer support service, use it
• Don't blame yourself for what has happened

When you are talking to an adult about bullying, be clear about:

• What has happened to you
• How often it has happened
• Who was involved
• Who saw what was happening
• Where it happened
• What you have done about it already
