What to do if you are a victim
• Remove yourself from the situation• Remember you are NOT the one
with the problem, it’s the bully who has the problem.
• Talk to an adult! It’s not “tattling” or “snitching.” It’s asking the people who love you to provide help when you really need it. (parents, teachers, etc.)
• Do not keep it inside.
• Do not plan revenge against the bully or take things into your own hands.
