LET’S TALK ABOUT
BULLYING
Bullying can happen to anyone. People who bully others
often do so to gain a feeling of power, purpose and
control over another person.
You can usually tell that bullying is taking place if:
● the actions are intended to cause harm;
● the behaviour is repeated over a period of time;
● the person being targeted is physically or
emotionally impacted;
● there is an imbalance of power (e.g. one person is
physically stronger or has some kind of advantage
over the other person).
Types of Bullying
Bullying behaviour can be split into several different groups. These include:
Physical bullying "Using your body or things like toys to hurt someone, even if it's
just playing rough."
Saying mean things that make someone feel bad about themselves, like
Verbal bullying calling them names or making fun of them.
"Imagine someone teases you, calls you names, or doesn't want to play with

purpose.

intended to hurt or intimidate another person.
● Examples include:
punching, hitting or slapping;
pushing or tripping;
kicking;
spitting;
unwanted or inappropriate touching;
stealing or damaging of possessions, including
clothing, books or money.
Verbal Bullying
Verbal bullying involves using cruel or abusive
language (written or spoken) to hurt another person.
name-calling, including racist, homophobic
and ableist language (disrespect someone because of a disability);
making threats;
mocking someone’s voice or way of speaking;
spreading rumours or lying about someone;
making disrespectful comments about someone’s appearance or other
characteristics.
Psychological Bullying
Psychological bullying involves actions and behaviours intended to negatively affect
another person’s mental health and/or wellbeing. This might include actions that also
fall under the definition of physical bullying, verbal bullying or cyberbullying.
Examples include:
You're pretending not to see or hear someone on purpose;
Being unkind and hurtful
Spreading rumours or lying about someone;
Hiding someone’s belongings;
Putting someone down or ridiculing someone;

Sexual Bullying
Sexual bullying involves targeting someone with sexual actions and/or comments.
Examples include:
uninvited inappropriate touching of someone’s body;
Sometimes, some people might say things about someone's body, clothes, or how
they look, even if they don't know them. These words can be like loud, annoying
noises that nobody wants to hear, especially if they make you feel embarrassed or
worried.
Taking pictures or videos under someone's clothes without asking is like doing
that on purpose, which is unkind and makes them feel bad.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying involves using electronic communication (such as social networking
sites, gaming sites, chat rooms or messaging apps) to hurt another person.
Examples include:
sending threatening messages;
leaving mean/rude/hurtful comments on someone’s
social media posts;

Dealing with Bullying
If you are being bullied, or see someone else being bullied, there are some things you can
do to help deal with it.
Report It – tell a trusted adult, such as a teacher or family member, about what is
happening.
Talk It Out – if you feel safe to do so, try to talk to the person who is bullying you
and explain that their behaviour is harmful or upsetting.
Walk Away – if you are experiencing bullying, remove yourself from the situation if you
can do so safely.
Collect Evidence – keep a note of what happened, who was involved
and when it happened. If the bullying is online, take screenshots of messages or
comments so you can report it.
Dealing with Bullying
Surround Yourself with Friends – spend time with people you trust
who make you feel good. If you are being bullied by someone in your friendship group,
consider if they are a true friend.
Don’t Blame Yourself – if you are being bullied, remember it isn’t your fault. You
shouldn’t have to change anything about yourself to please someone who is bullying
you, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
Be Confident – hold your head up high and do things that make you feel good about
yourself. This could be doing something you enjoy, like drawing, writing or making music.
Be an Ally – if you see someone else having a hard time, stand up for
them and make it clear you are on their side. If you think this will make the situation
worse, report the bullying to a trusted adult.
Let's stop
bullying! What
can we do right
now?
Don’t use foul or abusive language.
Let everything you say be good and
helpful, so that your words will be an
encouragement to those who hear
them
