BullyingBy Mackie Rights Respecting

You should never bully someone. If someone is bullying you, tell someone you trust and they will take suitable action.

Different kinds of bullying are:• Cyber bullying (through the internet)• Physical bullying (actually wounding

someone)• Emotional/mental bullying (name calling,

shouting etc)

Cyber BullyingCyber bullying is when somebody uses

the internet or mobile phones to harm someone. The internet is a wonderful place but also very dangerous. Resources you use for fun can also be used against you.

Sometimes cyber bullying is done anonymously so you don’t know who is saying nasty things but it still hurts, no matter who is saying it to you. Or how many people are doing it…

It’s really serious, even if it does start out as a bit of a joke. If the people are found, they will be punished.

Physical BullyingPhysical bullying is when someone kicks, slaps,

hits or hurts you literally in any way.

This is very severe and you should definitely tell someone even if they threaten you. The sooner they are caught, the better. It might not just be you they are hurting.

Emotional Bullying

Almost everybody gets emotionally bullied at some time in their childhood and adulthood. It seems to be the one which hurts the most. It can start very small and lead up to big things, such as people getting depressed, self harming and even committing suicide.

Never say unnecessary, judgemental, horrible things to people. You probably just know their name, not their story.

What to do...

If you are being bullied, don't suffer in silence. Tell someone! Preferably a trusted adult so they can take suitable actions.
