To begin with I tried to stand up to the bullies, but it seemed to make it worse. They used this to feed their passion to make fun of me. Eventually I started to ignore them, they didn't get a reaction and in time the bullying fizzled out. Later on in the school, I became head of the day boys and I made it my mission to stamp out bullying wherever I could. Bullies are cowards.
Bullying is evil and manipulative.
During my time on BBC Newsround , I met many children who had suffered at the hands of bullies. Many of their stories made me extremely angry and brought back some of the feelings I had at school. Bullying can affect children in different ways, many have to leave school and many become physically ill - with asthma attacks, outbreaks of eczema, mood changes and loss of appetite. The most important thing to do if you're being bullied is to tell someone you trust. Don't bottle up your emotions.
