Beat bullying

No one deserves to be bullied

Three in five blind and partially sighted young people at secondary schools say they have been bullied at some stage.

Nearly everyone is bullied at some time in their lives - by brothers or sisters, neighbours, adults or other young people. It can be carried out by an individual, a group or even a teacher. Visit our Bullying: what to do pages to find out more.

Sarah's tips about bullying

If a person or a group is being regularly nasty to you and they obviously mean it, and you are feeling vulnerable and upset because of it, you are being bullied. It's wrong and it needs to stop.

Bullying can take many different forms - it doesn't have to be just physical. Bullies sometimes use phone calls, texts or websites to try and upset people. Bullies are often showing off and trying to get a reaction because they feel insecure.

If you are being bullied, you may feel scared, depressed, vulnerable or alone. If you feel like this, it's time to do something to stop the bullying.
