Five ways to stop bullying

Don’t ignore somebody who’s a bully to you or bullying others. Bullying hurts so don’t walk away thinking it is harmless or doesn’t hurt anybody, when you see bullying do something about it.

You should be an example of someone that everyone knows stands up against bullying. Don’t be afraid to let others know that you are a person that is against bullying. Each day, be kind and treat others how you’ll want to be treated.

When you see bullying or even are being bullied, let the person or persons who are doing the bullying know that their actions are not okay. A lot of bullies want to be seen and have an audience for their bad behaviour. Remember that when confronting the bully, you don’t use harmful words or get physical. Stay calm and be respectful when standing up to them.

if the above methods don’t work, please go to a teacher, counsellor or a principal at your school and get them involved in these situations.

if you need additional help, let a parent, guardian or trusted adult know. This works well, not only at school but also out in the community or at a community centre.

In conclusion: You should always remind yourself that bullying is not okay and you should always stand up for yourselves and stomp out bullying.
