1. Another common misconception is that bullying only occurs at school. In fact, when you’re being bullied it can feel like it’s impossible to escape. Bullying behavior can continue on the school bus, at the shops and at after-school clubs. Also, now that so many of us have internet access and smartphones, cyberbullying is on the rise. Rude or threatening emails or text messages can be sent to us at any hour of the day or night, even when we are safely at home.
2. If you aren’t the person being picked on, it’s tempting not to get involved. The victim might not be able to solve the problem on their own, and adults are often unaware of bullying because it typically goes on when they are not around. That’s why we all have to stick together and do what we can to stop bullying.
