Most young people behave aggressively at times, but it is only a small amount of young people who become regular bullies.

Bullying can be done in a number of different ways

 *  Name calling
 *  Teasing
 *  Being attacked
 *  Making up stories about someone
 *  Being ignored and left out

If someone you know is being bullied, it may seem easier not to get involved,
BUT it poisons the whole culture of how people relate to each other.
Be positive.  Make a difference.
Try to be friendly to the target to show support. Encourage them to tell someone.

Did you know... "Those who can do, those who can't bully"
Remember that you are not alone, many people have been bullied and have come through stronger.

What to do if you are being bullied...
Remember it's not young fault you are the target for bullies.
Everyone has the right to respect and equality - bullies don't respect these rights.
Find out what the schools' anti-bullying policy says.
Talk to someone you trust - friend, teacher or relative.
Practice what you want to say - be factual with what happened - stick to the facts.
Ask your parents/guardian to speak to the school.
Don't give up if the bullying continues - be persistent at sorting it out.
Stay in a group of people to avoid being singled out.

Schools and colleges have a zero-tolerance policy to bullying. Both pupils and teachers need to take active roles in creating positive ways they relate to each other.
