Are you being bullied?

Bullying is when someone repeatedly and on purpose says or does mean or hurtful things to another person who has a hard time defending him or herself. If you are being bullied the most important thing to do is to tell someone, preferably an adult you can trust. Bullying is a form of abuse and you have the right to be safe from harm. No one deserves to be bullied and there are things that can be done to help you.
