Bullies

A bully is a guy/girl who picks on you or other kids. Bullies can hurt you physically or mentally. Physical is more dangerous to our health and or your appearance. Mental ways are not so harmful. It just makes you feel bad or even angry.

If you are being bullied tell someone who is older than you. Sometimes a brother or sister can help you with your problems. If you are being bullied stick with a group, bullies are braver when their victims are alone. Even if the bully is using physical force you shouldn't be physical. Usually bullies target someone smarter, different or more popular. A bully is often jealous of the person he/she is pushing around. Most of the time bullies are just looking for attention, this makes them feel big or powerful.

The most important thing you can do is tell someone who can help you stop the bullying. And don't be a bully yourself.
