Remember it's not your fault if someone is bullying you.
Nobody has the right to bully you.
Bullies are not strong, they are weak and they bully people because it makes them feel strong.
People who are being bullied are often frightened to tell anyone, but it's very important that you do tell someone if you are being bullied.
Tell a friend, tell a teacher, tell your parents or carers. You should not keep being bullied to yourself. Just talking to someone about the problem can often make you feel better. If you talk to someone like a teacher they can challenge the bully and help you stop the bully bothering you and possibly others.
If the bully wants your money or other possessions, don't put yourself in danger trying to hold on to them if this happens. Tell an adult as soon as possible and get them to report the incident to the police.
