It may be one of these things or several. Whatever form it takes, you want it to stop.

If you see someone being bullied don’t ignore it: you need to act, otherwise you are saying it’s OK. If you see someone being hurt, get

help from an adult, but don’t put yourself in any danger. Don’t be afraid to talk to

someone about it if you feel you can’t step in and help out – a teacher or mentor is a

good start.

If you are being bullied you really need to tell someone, otherwise the bullying may not stop. Tell a trusted adult at the place

where the bullying is happening – so if the bullying is happening at school you might want to talk to your principal, teacher or counselor. Ask to speak to them in private

if you are worried about the bully finding out.

Please visit http://www.kidpower.org/resources/videos/index.html to learn more!

Bullying happens when a person, or group of people, pick on others who are

more vulnerable and can’t really stick up for themselves easily. Bullies want to feel pow-

erful and picking on someone and making

them feel scared is a way of doing that. Types of bullying may include: physical abuse, kicking, hitting, poking, touching, pushing, name calling, mocking, sarcasm,

teasing /taunting, leaving people out of games, racial, religious, sexual harassment, spreading rumors, taking possessions with-

out permission, destroying or vandalizing other people's property, making demands, threats, blackmail, encouraging others to

fight, or sending treating or hurtful emails/
