What should my parents (or other adults) do?
If you tell your parents about what you consider bullying, they should:
- Listen to what you have to say
- Believe you, and believe that you are upset and scared
- Stay calm
- Recognise that it’s not your fault – you are not “weak” because someone is bullying you
- Discuss with you the strategies you can use to help the situation
- Remind you that you should always talk to them about your problems
- Discuss with you and decide what steps will be taken to stop the bullying
