According to the The Society for Safe & Caring Schools & Communities there are particular steps you should take if your are being bullied and we will discuss those over the next few days. the first thing you want to do is to stand up for yourself by following the steps below:
DO
- Stand proud - do not allow anyone to take your pride away from you
- Make eye contact - look the bully in the eye because this takes away that sense of fear
- Tell the person who is bullying you to stop - stand up for yourself and tell them to stop if you don't they will continue to try to provoke you
- Walk away - walk away and get to an adult as quickly as possible. Walking away diffuses the situation
DON’T
- Put yourself down by saying “I’m a loser” or “Everyone hates me.” - Continuously putting yourself down takes away from your sense of self-worth and makes you feel like you are less of a person and that you are deserving of the bullying
- Ignore the bullying - Sometimes we like to just pretend the bullying does not exist in hopes that it will just go away, well most of the time it will not so don't ignore it, address is and move forward
- Show you’re upset - showing that you are upset makes you vulnerable and makes the bully think that they have won so don't show that you're upset no matter what.

- Straight talk: “Stop, [use person’s name]. I don’t like it.” or “Leave me alone.” - talk to the person bullying you and let them know that you don't appreciate the treatment that you are receiving.
