Bullying should NOT be considered a "Normal part of life". Having to deal with a bully is hard for a child — especially at school. If you are being bullied, it's very important to tell an adult. If you act as though you're not afraid, it may be enough for a people who bully  to leave you alone.

Dealing With Bullying

Bullying leads to several suicides every year. Remember, it's our "differences" that makes us special and unique. You should be proud of who you are. Don't let people who bully take that away from you. Don't give people who bully that power over you.

Verbal bullying can also involve sending cruel instant or email messages or even posting insults about a person on a website — practices that are known as cyberbullying.

are the only options left,
