Remember that being bullied is not your fault, and
there’s nothing wrong with you—no one deserves to
be bullied!
Bullying isn’t just physical violence—threatening
someone, laughing at them, taunting them, starting
nasty rumours about them or not letting them hang
out with you or your friends is all bullying.
Tell an adult you trust if you are being bullied, or
someone else is. Keep telling until you get help
Call the Kids Help Line 1-800-668-6868 for support—
it’s free and confidential.
Don’t bully the bully. Using insults or fighting back will
make the problem worse.
Use humour—say something funny to take the sting
out of teasing; try not to take it personally, get upset
or show hurt feelings.
If the bullying is making you afraid or very upset, have
a teacher or an adult help you with a safety plan. You
may have to change your route home, or avoid being
where the bully is, until the problem is solved. Don’t
think of it as acting scared—think of it as acting smart!
Refuse to go along with bullying—bystanders who
laugh, agree or cheer only encourage the bully’s bad
behavior. Instead, take the victim’s side; if you feel
safe doing so, tell the bully to stop. Report what you
see or hear to an adult.
Ask your school to form an anti-bullying committee
with representation from teachers, parents and
students.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Remember, you have the right to be treated with
respect and feel safe!
