Yes. I know it can get really hard and sometimes you think that if you don't tell anyone it will just go away or that if you tell someone they will think you're weak, but truth is that if you tell someone you are one of the strongest people I know. In my personal experience, I was bullied without telling anyone for 4 years, once i told someone she couldn't do anything to stop the bullying but she did help me get through some really hard times just by being there and listening to me and comforting me when i would break down and talking to me when i needed a friend.
So yes, do tell someone you trust, not only will they make you feel less alone but they will also share some of the burden.
Remember to always keep fighting.

Yes! Always! It is very important that you talk to someone about what is troubling you. This way not only are you able to get it off your chest, but you are also able to ask for advice on how to deal with it. Bullying is not something that a person should have to deal with, however unfortunately it is there. But there are also things that can be done and talking to someone is one of them.

Yes! Go to your social worker at school, he can help you the most, I would also request the principal gets involved so that way it can be dealt with, i have been bullied since i was in 7th grade, and it didn't stop until i went and asked for help from teachers and staff.

Talk with someone about it and reach for help. If it's getting worse, maybe you can change your job.

Well, try to find witnesses and tell your employer about the people who bully you. I had the same situation and it helped.

You should try to communicate with the bully and if that doesn't help then you should talk to another adult

Just ignore them if at all possible, if not, tell your boss. People are stupid and they will not stop until they have to, so give them a reason to stop :)
