Bullying can involve hitting, pushing, shoving, name-calling or mocking. It can involve making sure you get into trouble, stealing your things, your friends or isolating you.
What can I do?
• If you are being bullied the most important thing to do is talk to someone about it, even if it feels hard.
• If it feels too difficult to tell someone face-to-face, then perhaps you could write it down.
• Make sure you keep to public areas at break and lunchtime – bullies are far more likely to pick on you if you are isolated.
• Bullies will pick on something you feel vulnerable about. Try to show them you’re not bothered and they are more likely to stop.
• Team up with other people who are being bullied – there is strength in numbers.
Why do they do it?
Remember, it’s not you with the problem – bullies bully because they are fundamentally insecure. It’s their problem and their weakness. Tell somebody about it to stop the bullying.
If you have a question or you are unsure about anything then ask a Talksafe Counsellor or Peer Mentor.

I don't feel like a hero at all. I just feel tired. My little macro'd saying to people has always been, "She changed my diapers, I can change hers." But it's like having a 5'2" 110lb baby that's potty training in reverse. It doesn't end. I spent the first few years trying to handle it all on my own, mostly out of ignorance, not knowing about the many resources out there to help out people suffering with Alzheimer's as well as the caregivers. Respite care services are amazing. I found out about 5 years in that most states have services that work with foundations to train and pay family members an hourly wage (up to 40 hours a week, but it's still a 24 hour job) to [...] Was this answer helpful?
