Firstly, remember that you have rights. Being bullied is not okay and you do not deserve to be treated unfairly or cruely. Make sure to always document evidence when possible by taking screenshots of messages, talking to a teacher or administrator as soon as possible and filing a formal complaint if necessary. Additionally, it may help you stay calm if you focus on positive outcomes and assertive thinking; remind yourself that your goals are achievable despite the bullying you are facing. Lastly remember to ask for help — seeking assistance from trusted adults can help provide support so that any future contact with the bully is avoided completely or minimized by increasing supervision. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself safe in this situation!

Try to avoid engaging with the bully whenever possible by keeping your head down and walking away. Never retaliate or respond in an angry or aggressive way, and report every instance of bullying to a trusted adult. Additionally, seek emotional support from other trusted adults such as parents, teachers, and counselors. It is important not to suffer alone.
