Understanding Bullying
Bullying is when someone hurts, threatens, or teases another person repeatedly on purpose. It can be physical (hitting, pushing), verbal (name-calling, insults), or social (excluding someone, spreading rumours). Cyberbullying happens online through phones or computers.
Example
What to Do About Bullying
If you are bullied: tell a trusted adult like a teacher or parent. Walk away and stay with friends. Do not fight back — it can make things worse. If you see someone being bullied: speak up or report it.
Note
Remember
Bullying is never the victim's fault. Everyone deserves to feel safe. Schools in South Africa have anti-bullying policies — make sure you know your school's rules.
