Here are a few concrete actions you can take: For Victims: Walk away Tell someone you trust – a teacher, coach, guidance counsellor, parent Ask for help Say something complimentary to the bully to distract him/her Stay in groups to avoid confrontation Use humour to throw off or connect with your bully Pretend that the bully isn’t affecting you Keep reminding yourself that you are a good person and are worthy of respect For Bystanders: Instead of ignoring a bullying incident, try: Tell a teacher, coach or counsellor Move toward or next to the victim Use your voice – say “stop” Befriend the victim Lead the victim away from the situation For Bullies: Talk to a teacher or counsellor Think about how you would feel if someone bullied you Consider your victim’s feelings – think before you act
