Lack of confidence & self-esteem Lack of social skills They are very good at their school work They find school work difficult They are seen to be different in some way (but it’s good to be different - it would be very boring if we were all the same!) No reason at all! No one deserves to be bullied

9. What can you do if you or someone else is being bullied? Tell someone you trust (a parent / carer, a teacher, a friend) If you feel under threat, always YELL to attract attention, RUN away from danger and TELL a teacher immediately. If you are being threatened for a possession, hand it over. No object, no matter how new or expensive, is more important than your safety.

10. What can you do if you or someone else is being bullied? Don't give your personal and online contact details to people you do not trust. Keep any nasty messages or emails as evidence and show them to someone you trust. Don’t be a bystander ̶ if you see bullying happen, TELL someone.
