How do we Prevent Bullying?
Coping with bullying can be difficult, but remember, you are not the problem, the bully is. You have a right to feel safe and secure. If you're different in some way, be proud of it! Spend time with your friends - bullies hardly ever pick on people if they're with others in a group.
You've probably already tried ignoring the bully, telling them to stop and walking away whenever the bullying starts.
If someone is bullying you, you should always tell an adult you can trust. This isn't telling tales. You have a right to be safe and adults can do things to get the bullying stopped.Even if you think you've solved the problem on your own, tell an adult anyway, in case it happens again.An adult you can trust might be a teacher, school principal, parent, someone from your family or whanau, or a friend's parent. If you find it difficult to talk about being bullied, you might find it easier to write down what's been happening to you and give it to an adult you trust.
