Here are some helpful ways to handle it:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Tell an adult<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Talk to a teacher, principal, or parent about what&#8217;s happening. They can help stop the bullying and make things better.<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Use the buddy system<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Stick with friends or classmates when you&#8217;re around the bully. This makes it less likely for the bully to bother you when others are around.<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Stay calm and ignore<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: It&#8217;s natural to feel upset, but try not to show it. Bullies often want a reaction, so staying calm and ignoring them can take away their power. You can practice deep breathing or walking away to stay cool.<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Be brave and firm<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you feel safe, tell the bully firmly to stop, then walk away. Showing you&#8217;re not interested in what they say or do can make them lose interest.<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Talk it out<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Share your feelings with someone you trust, like a friend or counselor. They can listen and offer support, which can help you feel less alone in dealing with bullying in school .<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, it&#8217;s important not to fight back or bully the bully. This can make things worse and cause more trouble.
