Bullying Resources for Students

• Acknowledge that it is not your fault.
• Communicate incidents of bullying with a trusted adult at school and at home.
• Document and report all incidents of bullying.
• Seek support with your friends.
• Avoid becoming involved in physical conflict as you could face discipline from your school.
