What not to do Being bullied creates a wide range of emotions and reactions for the victims. While you have given them positive strategies for handling the situation, you may also want to remind them of the following things not to do: • Blame yourself -It is not your fault. • Fight back - It’s never a good idea to physical hurt someone else. - Do not hurt others because you have been hurt. • Bully others • Keep silent - Remaining silent while you or someone else are being targeted will not help stop the situation. • Avoid school - Everyone deserves to be safe and learn at school. - If you feel like you want to hurt yourself or others, talk to someone immediately. • Hurt yourself 18
