what is bullying

Bullying isn't something that just happens in movies and books. It's a real problem that many kids encounter on a daily basis, and it can become dangerous if it isn't stopped. Learn how to put a stop to bullying by taking immediate action, knowing where to go for help, and setting a good example for others. People hurt others because they usually don't care about others

ways you can help

• Stop and think before you say or do something that could hurt someone.
• If you feel like being mean to someone, find something else to do. Play a game, watch TV, or talk to a friend.
• Talk to an adult you trust. They can help you find ways to be nicer to others.
• Keep in mind that everyone is different. Not better or worse. Just different.  
• Look at the kid bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off guard.
• If speaking up seems too hard or not safe, walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an adult to stop the bullying on the spot.
There are things you can do to stay safe in the future, too.
• Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel less alone. They can help you make a plan to stop the bullying.
• Stay away from places where bullying happens.
• Stay near adults and other kids. Most bullying happens when adults aren’t around.
• If you think you have bullied someone in the past, apologize. Everyone feels better.
