What to Do If You’re Bullied
There are things you can do if you are being bullied:
 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.
 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..

2. Treat Everyone with Respect
 Nobody should be mean to others.
 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.
If you think you have bullied someone in the past, apologize. Eve-
ryone feels better.

What Can You Do To Stop Bullying
Why do bullies do
what they do?
· Sometimes they think
that they will win or get
what they want.
· Sometimes they want to
impress or entertain their
friends.
· Sometimes they enjoy
feeling power over some-
one because sometimes
they are being bullied by
someone else!
· Sometimes they do not
even realize that they are
hurting the other person .

3. · Get friends together and TALK to the bully. Let the bullies in your
school know that bullying is not accepted at your school.
· Don't cheer the bully on or stand around to watch. (The bully might like
the attention, and pick on the kid even more).
· If you see someone being bullied, find someone to help stop it. (Get an-
other friend, a teacher, a playground safety, a principal).
· Be nice to, include, and get to know the people who are being bullied:
You may find they are similar to you!!
· Try to make friends with the bully too- show them other ways to inter-
act with others. (They don't need to bully others to be accepted or cool).

Who do bullies pick on?
· Often, bullies are bigger kids, so they pick on:
· Kids they feel are smaller.
· Kids they think won't stand up to them.
· Kids that have few
friends to stand up for
them
So we must Stand Up for Others
When you see bullying, there are safe
things you can do to make it stop.
 Talk to a parent, teacher, or another
adult you trust. Adults need to know
when bad things happen so they can
help.
 Be kind to the kid being bullied.
Show them that you care by trying to
include them. Sit with them at lunch or
on the bus, talk to them at school, or
invite them to do something. Just hang-
ing out with them will help them know
they aren’t alone.
