What is bullying?

Bullying is when someone hurts or upsets another person on purpose, again and again.
It can make someone feel sad, scared, or lonely.

Bullying can happen in different ways:

• With words: calling names, teasing, or spreading rumours.
• With actions: hitting, kicking, pushing, or taking someone’s things.
• Online: sending mean messages, sharing pictures, or leaving someone out on purpose (this is called cyberbullying).
• By leaving someone out: not letting them join games or activities on purpose.

Everyone has the right to feel safe, happy, and respected — everywhere, including school and online.

What you can do if you are being bullied

Tell someone you trust

• This could be your teacher, teaching assistant, a dinner supervisor, or another adult at school.
• You can also talk to your parents, carers, or an older sibling.
• Remember — telling is about being brave and getting help.

Stay calm and walk away

• Don’t fight back.
• Try to go somewhere safe, like near a teacher or a group of friends.

Keep a note

• If the bullying keeps happening, try to remember what happened, where, and who was there.
• You can ask an adult to help you write it down.

Be kind to yourself

• Bullying is never your fault.
• Spend time doing things you enjoy, like reading, drawing, or playing games.

What to do if you see someone else being bullied

• Don't join in - even if others are laughing
• Tell a teacher or adult right away
• Be a buddy! Invite the person to play, talk to them, or sit with them at lunch.
• Use your Super Brainy power - kindness can make a big difference.

Staying safe online (cyberbullying)

• Never share your passwords or private information.
• If someone is mean to you online, don't reply - save the message and tell an adult.
• Only talk to people you know in real life.
• Remember: if something online makes you feel worried, sad or confused, talk to an adult you trust.
