Tell someone else
Tell a trusted friend, parent, or teacher about your situation. Once you talk it with them you’re likely to feel more relaxed and calm about it.
Ignore it
Act like you didn’t hear what the person bullying you is saying. Don’t give them any reaction and the satisfaction of responding to their comments.
Tell the bully to stop
If you feel safe and confident, you can approach the bully and tell them why their behaviour is not okay.
Block and report it
If the bullying occurs online, don’t engage, as this can make things worse. Instead, block the person and report the situation. Social media sites have policies to prevent bullying and harassment. Make sure you saved the evidence and show it to a trusted adult.
