BULLYING UKAnti-Bullying Week 2013 18-22 November 2013 is calling on children and young people to take the lead on creating a future without bullying - using new technologies to promote positive communication rather than being held back by cyberbullying #ABW2013. To get ready for Anti-Bullying Week, Bullying UK, part of Family Lives, launched an anti-bullying campaing consisting of three competitions for pupils to get involved in. 

BULLYING UKThere is no legal definition of bullying. But it is usually defined as repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability.Bullying can take many forms including:•physical assault•teasing•making threats•name calling•cyber bullyingBullying can happen anywhere: at school, travelling to and from school, in sporting teams, between neighbours or in the workplace.

BULLYING UKWhat is cyber bullying?Cyber bullying is bullying through a mobile phone or online (eg by email, instant messanger or on social network sites). Cyber bullying is just as serious. Read more about cyber bullying. 

BULLYING UKHow to deal with bullying at schoolIf you are being bullied at school, tell a friend, tell a teacher and tell your parents. It won't stop unless you do. It can be hard to do this so if you don't feel you can do it in person it might be easier to write a note to your parents explaining how you feel, or perhaps confide in someone outside the immediate family, like a grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin and ask them to help you tell your parents what's going on.
