Mental health & wellbeing

Hey there, when you've already asked adults for help and nothing has changed, it can feel like you've run out of options πŸ’›

This bullying isn't your fault, and being kind doesn't mean you're weak or that you've caused it.

Since the first reports haven't helped, there are a few other routes you could try:

πŸ‘‰ Write down each incident, including the date, what happened and who was there, so you have a clear record if you report it again.

πŸ‘‰ Ask a different teacher, the school counsellor or someone more senior at school for help.

πŸ‘‰ A parent or trusted adult could ask the school for a meeting, so you can all make a plan together.

πŸ‘‰ While this is being sorted, you could avoid the people bullying you where possible and stay in busier places, such as the library or a classroom.

Supportive friends can also make a big difference, whether they stay nearby, speak up for you or simply give you someone safe to talk to.

For your mental health, try to make space for things that help you feel more like yourself, such as hobbies, time with friends, exercise, deep breathing, meditation or journalling 🩷

If you're really struggling, tell a parent or trusted adult clearly that you need support from a health professional as well as help with the bullying.

You deserve respect, and your kindness is still a strength 🌷
