What About Bullies?

Do you know someone who is a bully? What is a bully, anyway? It is someone who will purposely try to hurt you in a way that may make you feel uncomfortable and may hurt you mentally or physically. Bullies like to gain control over other people and they will do almost anything to make sure they get it. Bullying happens everywhere and it can happen at any age.

Here are some ways to know if someone is a bully. They

hit, kick, push, or threaten other people.
steal things and hide them, or ruin another person's things.
make someone do things they don't want to do.
call people names.
tease people.
insult people.
refuse to talk to someone.
spread rumors about people.

Bullying is bad for everyone. People who are bullied may not want to go places, especially school. The bully usually picks friends who are also bullies, or those who think it is okay to bully. Some may be scared of the bully and afraid of what will happen if they are not the bully's friend. Bullies usually bother people who they think won't take up for themselves. So, what can you do?

Try not to stay away from places you know the bully likes to go.
Try to be in a wide open area where everyone can see you.
Try not to get upset around a bully.
Tell a grown up if you are being bullied.

Have you ever been bullied? How did it make you feel? What did you do about it?

I have never been bullied before. But I know that a bully will get stronger if you do not stand up for yourself.If you get bullied tell your teacher or princable.

If a bully walked up to you and said something bad to you, what will you do? I will go tell on him and the teacher will do something about it.
