Yo. I made this thread because I've seen quite a few threads about bullying, freinds being left out ect... So, I thought that it would be good to post a few points about bullying and some advice about it. 1. Think your being bullied? Tell someone. No one can help you if no one knows about it! Yes, bullies may tell you something like "Don't tell anyone or we'll knock your block off." but at the end of the day, someone's gonna find out. So don't let it dig away at you. You can tell any trusted adult. They'll help you out for sure. 2. What is bullying? Bullying is when someone or a group of people continuously hurt you in any way. 3. Why do people bully others? Normally, it's because they've been through or are going through tough stuff. But sometimes, you will get the spiteful little person who enjoys others pain. Most bullies are cowards so they'll just give up once their trail has been noticed. 4. What can I do directly to the bullies to stop it? Well, fighting back is not the answer. Just say something like "Grow up." or "What? I can't hear you?." Also, I know it's hard to ignore it but you must try to ignore it until adult get it sorted. 5. Am I a bully? If you think that you are, you must stop it. Tell a teacher and try to get it sorted out. 6. I saw someone get bullied. What do I do? Some people say that the standbyer is just as bad as the bully. I do not think that. People only stand and watch to keep themselves safe. It's in human nature really. But, if you want to help them you need to speak to a teacher, whether the person getting bullied likes it or not. Well, that's it. You guys may be thinking how does she know this? I know how it feels because I've been there, and it wasn't fun. Anyways, if you have any questions or worries then feel free to comment me or post on here. ^-^
