WHAT IS BULLYING

According to the dictionary, bullying is to do harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable). There are different ways to harm a person. For instance, these are examples of bullying:

1. Physical bullying: hitting, slapping or pushing someone.
2. Verbal bullying: name calling, gossiping or threatening someone.
3. Non-verbal abuse: hand signs or text messages.
4. Emotional abuse: threatening, intimidating or humiliating someone.
5. Exclusion: ignoring or isolating someone.
6. Cyberbullying: someone uses technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person.

How to Deal with Bullying

• Stay calm and do not show anger—it can give bullies more power.
• Walk away confidently or ignore the bully when safe to do so.
• Use kind but firm words to tell the bully to stop.
• Stay with a group of friends—there is safety in numbers.
• Write down what happened (time, place, people involved) to report later.

How to Seek Help

• Tell a trusted adult like a parent, teacher, or school counselor.
• If it's online bullying, block the bully and report their profile or messages.
• Call a child helpline for advice and support.
• Join a support group at school or in your community.
• Remember, you are not alone—help is always available.
