Bullying can negatively impact those affected and cause discrimination, aggression, social isolation, threats, manipulation, intimidation and cyberbullying. If you witness bullying, do not remain silent but rather talk to a trusted adult. The person being bullied needs to know they are not alone and support should be offered with compassion. Seeking professional help may also be necessary if the bullying has been ongoing or is severely impacting the person's well-being. It is important not to confront the bully directly to avoid making the situation worse.
