Is there bullying at your school?
If so, here are some tips to help with the problem:
1. Talk to a trusted adult. Don't be ashamed to ask for help when you or someone you know is being bullied.
2. Realize that you don't deserve to be bullied. Nobody deserves to be put down or pushed around. Never directly confront a bully, but do something that can help resolve the problem.
3. Step in when an individual is being bullied. Kids can't watch others get hurt and teased and do nothing about it.
