Bullying Experiences
“I was bullied on the way home on my bus every day. I was punched kicked and they even smashed my watch. One day I was followed to my house and they kicked my front door over and over until my mum got home and she called the police and they where cautioned”. Daniel, 13, Bognor Regis (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/)
Bullying Experiences
“I was bullied for being the quiet one who refused to pick on other people so I was picked on by people who were supposed to be my friends! But I am proud that I refused to be like them even if it did knock back my confidence a lot. I have never forgiven them and I stopped hanging around them and avoid them when I can but thanks to my best friend Heather. She has made me realise that I am worth something.” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/)
Bullying Experiences
“It was always verbal bullying, but it hurt. Each time they said anything it felt like they were cutting into me.”
“I do it just out of fun, because I know I am the stronger person and also just to act hard in front of my mates.”
True or False? There is no bullying at my school Bullying others toughens you up Fighting back with the bully is the best thing to do Ignoring the bullying will make it go away Bullying only happens among boys. Bullying is part of growing up & you just have to
accept it. Bullying only happens in disadvantaged schools There is more bullying in large classes compared to
small classes.
What is Bullying Behaviour?
What is bullying? What is teasing?
Why is bullying different to teasing? Bullying behaviour is different to teasing &
aggression because:
Bullying behaviour is repeated over time and does not just happen once.
Bullying involves power relationships. The victim feels over powered and intimidated by the bully.
Bullying is planned and deliberate and is not just a joke.
How big a problem is bullying?
Our recent research showed that up to 1/3 of children cited experiencing being bullied frequently and a few times every week.
A recent survey carried out by CBBC News found that half of primary school children and more than 1 in 4 secondary school children said they had been bullied in the last year.

Relational Bullying
Uually involves the people who you hang around with:Friends deliberately leaving you outFriends deliberately falling out with youFriends spreading nasty rumours about
you or stories that are not true
Bullying Personalities
Bullying behaviour involves groups of people with a range of roles:

Bullying Personalities
BULLY: A bully bullies other children and is never a victim.
VICTIM: A victim gets hurt by the bully & never bullies others.
BULLY/VICTIM: A bully/victim both bullies others and is a victim at times.
Bullying Personalities
ASSISTANT TO THE BULLY: This person helps the bully out and eggs them on to keep hurting the victim.
DEFENDER: A defender tries to help the victim and sticks up for them.

Why is Bullying bad?
Bullying can result in: health problems (stomach aches, headaches) Problems at school with work because you can’t
concentrate Bunking off school Psychological problems (anxiety, depression) Behaviour problems, children sometimes become
aggressiveIn some instances even suicide
Why do bullies bully?
Bullying isn’t cool!Bullies sometimes have problems of their own
that they are trying to cover upThey are scared of not being popular or the
‘tough guy’They think aggression is a good way of solving
problems. It is NOT!They do it for fun, to get a laughThey are jealous of the victim Bullies usually lose their friends when people
realise what they are doing
What should you do if you are being bullied?
Tell someone - The most important thing to remember if you are being bullied is to tell somebody about it such as the teacher, your parents or a friend that you trust.
You should not let the bully carry on bullying. The longer you leave it, the worse it will become.

Cyberbullying Experiences
“One time I kept getting calls, I was getting really scared I phoned my friend and she wasn't home so I couldn't talk to her.”
“You can have 60 people bullying you on the internet, but in real life there wouldn’t be 60 people beating you up”. DCSF (Department for children, schools & families) by Childnet International
Cyberbullying Experiences
“I felt that no-one understood what I was going through. I didn’t know who was sending me these messages, and I felt powerless to know what to do”.
“The accusation about me which the students put on their website was horrendous. Within hours, it seemed that the whole school had read this message.”
