You're never a snitch for telling an adult you're being bullied, but if you want to be discrete about it, you could always go up to them when the they are alone and tell them the situation and kindly ask them to not mention your name.

Being bullied is a very serious topic. When you go ask for help and tell someone that you're being bullied you're not being a snitch. You're helping yourself which is a great first step. Go to someone you trust and tell them about what's been going on.

You can be a snitch because the bully deserves getting in trouble. They deserve to be punished for what they did.

First, make sure it's an adult you trust. Also ask them to be discreet in how they handle it (as in, not calling you out as the person who reported it). Overall, you shouldn't worry about being a 'snitch' to someone who is deserving of being called out anyways. You're allowed to stand up for yourself.

Try to find an adult you can confide in and trust it will make it more comfortable for you! Tell them that you don't want to look like a snitch and they will understand! They will help and they will figure out a way with you to help with the situation :)

If someone is harming you emotionally, or making feel uneasy about what you do or simply what you are, and if you aren't able to stop this person from behaving in the toxic way that they do, you should mention it to said adult. Perhaps try not making their name known if that gets in the way of letting this off your chest. Just keep in mind that when it comes to things like bullism, feeling like a "snitch" is not even close to a real problem. They are behaving in a harmful way to begin with, whether they are aware of it or not, and they should at least being called out on that, and take responsibility for their actions to ultimately have an opportunity to become their better selves.

Most adults will be proud of you for being brave enough to let them know that you are being bullied. Often times, if it is another kid who is bothering you, the adult may bring it up to their parents instead of the other kid directly, and also try to not use specific names of those who are being bullied. Definitely bring it up to someone if you are being bullied- nobody truly wants to see you upset. I hope you are doing okay~

That sounds extreme. Did you try other mitigation methods first? If you exhausted all other avenues for negotiating, then I suppose you need to address bullying with an authority figure. The idea of a snitch, just seems like more propaganda from the bully squad. Your personal safety should always take top priority.
My answer falls below the minimum wording, so I will include some additional text here to satisfy the answer requirements. I think my answer in the first paragraph should indicate a starting point at the very least for your concern, and I thank you for your time.

If you are being bullied, talk to an adult and do not feel ashamed or like you are being a snitch! Trying to help yourself when someone is taking advantage of you and hurting you is never something you should feel bad about. Taking that step to talk to someone takes a lot of courage and you should be proud!If you are feeling shy, just trying setting up a time with an adult in private, they will understand. You can do it! Don't let anyone let you think otherwise.
