Talking to someone and asking for help when you are being bullied is very useful in being able to cope with emotions and feelings involved and also how to best deal with the situation and what the right steps to take are.

You should definitely inform someone you trust of this. You simply can't let it go on. If you can't stop it yourself, you need someone to help you stop it. I would suggest telling a family member or counsellor. I wish you all the best and please stand up for yourself, you deserve better!

Of course. It doesn't help to not tell anyone. I mean just talking to people really helps. You should tell someone because you need support. Everyone needs support.

Yes! You defiantly should. If you want it to be anonymous, then use 7cupsoftea in the category of bullying or talk to an adult that you trust about it.

Just so you know, Bullying is not correct in any way, shape or form, and it is perfectly normal for you to feel hurt from it. I am so sorry to hear that you are being bullied and it is understandable that you might have some fears in telling somebody that you are being bullied. It can be scary to tell someone but I want you to know that using your voice is the most efficient weapon against the bully. Staying silent helps the bullies but speaking up and telling a trusted adult, teacher, or school counselor will help stop it. I'm worried about your well-being. I urge you to talk to someone you trust about your situation at school, and how it's hindering you from making progress during your most important year. Also, in case you're interested, www.bullying.org is a website where you can find more information and support on the topic, and www.pacerteensagainstbullying.org is a website that increases awareness about bullying and offers resources and support to parents, teachers and victims of bullying.

Yes, you should. When it comes to bullying sharing always helps. Whether the person helps you get the bullies to stop or just supports you and tries to help you, you would feel better, if you're not alone.

If you are being bullied the first thing you should do is tell someone. Telling someone, and speaking up about being bullied is the way to resolve this issue. Other people can help you to not be bullied, and talk to the bully.

Please tell someone that you are being bullied. If you are in school tell a trusted teacher, counselor or other trusted adult. Do not suffer alone.

YES! you are not alone, and so many people are willing to help you. It doesn't make you weak, but rather proves that you are strong and not willing to take bullying. Your telling someone could also prevent another person from being bullied by the same person.
