| How to deal with bullying:
Tell your parents or other trusted adults. They can help stop the bullying.
If you are bullied at school, tell your teacher, school counselor, or principal. Telling is not tattling.
Don't fight back. Don't try to bully those who bully you.
Try not to show anger or fear. Students who bully like to see that they can upset you. |

Calmly tell the student to stop...or say nothing
and then walk away.
Use humor, if this is easy for you to do. (For
example, if a student makes fun of your clothing,
laugh and say, “Yeah, I think this shirt is kind of
funny-looking, too.”)
Try to avoid situations in which bullying is likely
to happen. |
