Bullying can happen to anyone at any age. Being bullied at school,
home or online might involve someone pushing you, hitting you, teasing
you, talking about you or calling you names. No one has the right to
hurt you or make you feel bad, and if you are being bullied you don't
have to put up with it, you can talk to someone about it.
What is bullying?
Bullying can mean many different things.
These are some ways children and young people have described bullying:
- being called names
- being teased
- being pushed or pulled about
- having money and other possessions taken or messed about with
- having rumours spread about you
- being ignored and left out
- being hit, kicked or physically hurt in any way
- being threatened or intimidated
If you are being bullied in person or online, then you might think that it's your fault.
It isn't.
No-one has the right to bully you. If you speak out about it, there are people who care - they will listen to you and help you.
And remember if you see somebody being bullied you can help too, by speaking to somebody - Remember if you See Something Say Something...
