What to do if you are bullied:

- Tell your parents. Telling is not tattling. Your parents can help you figure out what to do.
- Tell a trusted teacher, school counselor, or principal. If you are scared bring a friend.
- Do not retaliate against the bully or get angry. Try to defuse the situation and not make the bully torment you even more.
- Respond evenly and firmly or else say nothing and walk away. A bully likes to feel powerful and likes to see that he or she has upset you.

How can you help a victim of bullying

- Refuse to join in if the bully tries to get you to taunt and torment someone.
- Get a teacher, parent or other responsible adult to come help. That is not tattling.
-Try to get the child that is being bullied to tell his or her parents or a trusted teacher. Tell the victim that you will go with them.
- Tell a trusted adult yourself if the victim is unwilling to report the bullying. Do not let the bully know so that he or she does not become aggressive toward you.
