Advice for young people

No matter what, there is never an excuse for bullying, and you are not to blame. However, there are things you can do to help stop the bullying, many of which are outlined within this section.

We also know that it is not the only aspect of moving on. We understand that bullies often leave you feeling bad about yourself even after the bullying has stopped. 

We have plenty of advice and practical tips on how you can build up your confidence and allow negativity from others to slide straight off you. With a little bit of work and the right support, you can move past bullying for good and start to feel pride in being you, just the way you are.

Advice for parents and carers

The impact bullying has on children and young people can be serious, but there are actions you can take to support your child and protect them from harm. Within this section, you will find plenty of practical tips to help you deal with bullying and its associated issues, such as online safety, schooling, raising self-esteem and encouraging positive behaviour.
