With online bullying there is always a trail. Keeping records is essential when it comes to reporting the bullying & identifying the guilty party/parties.
Speak up! No one has the right to bully you or make you feel bad. If you are being bullied, don't put up with it. Tell someone about it.
You can speak to: Your parent/guardian Your friend(s) Your tutor A Year Head (Mrs Crummey/MsMcIntyre) A teacher you get on well with Your 6th year buddy The school nurse (Mrs McTernan) The school chaplain (Fr Larry) Any member of staff
Never allow yourself to be bullied. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one else’s definition of you : Define yourself!
Speak up! Tell someone! A bystander = a passive bully If you’re not against the bully, you’re with the bully. You decide.
Don’t write Don’t forward Don’t like
Just think: It could be you next!
Don’t deliver the bully’s message on for them by continuously telling a friend to read what has been said about them on a social networking site. You’re playing into the bully’s hands. You’re perpetuating the cycle of bullying.
