Bullying

What is bullying?

Bullying is the repeated and unwelcome behaviour with the intent to physically or emotionally harm another person. There are many forms of bullying, including verbal, physical, psychological and cyberbullying. Bullying may have had an affect on your early life, or your child may be currently experiencing bullying. To prevent bullying developing into a separate mental health issue such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, it is beneficial to seek professional help.

  • You have been purposefully, physically hurt by another individual
  • You have been ignored or had rumours spread about you
  • You have had your social media account hacked, belittling or hurtful messages on social media
  • Sexual images you sent in confidence have been shared
