Coping with Bullying

Lesson 3: Who is a Victim?

How the Victim Feels

You may feel alone if you are the target of a bully. Not so! Hundreds of kids all over the world are bullied every day. I was bullied in school because I had bright red hair and because I was big for my age. Hundreds of kids are bullied every day all over the world.

Some people think that bullying is part of growing up. This is wrong. Some people say that the bullying will stop if you hit back. This is also wrong. Fighting with a bully can be very dangerous.

You don't have to put up with it. No one should be bullied. It can make you feel depressed, alone, sad, nervous, and even make you feel physically ill. It can cause a lot of problems in your life. That is why it's so important that you tell parents, teachers, your principal, cousellors and even your friends if you are being bullied. Tell everyone that you trust who will listen.
