We’re better without bullying

• Why would life be better without bullying?

• People would live their life without the fear of being targeted because they are ‘different’.

• Everyone would have an equal chance to achieve their very best.

• Society would be a better place knowing that people would not be ridiculed and harrassed.

We are ALL better off without bullying

LOOK out for your friends. If you think they are being bullied, then help them.

ASK for help, if you are the victim of bullying, whether it is offline or online.

TAKE ACTION if you see online bullying taking place.

REPORT any bullying that you see through the usual channels in school.
