Need advice right now? Email us at info@actagainstbullying.org and we will reply as soon as we can.

Act Against Bullying was set up to help people like you, who may be being bullied. Together we can make your life happier.

We know that if you are being bullied you may be too frightened to tell anyone. You don’t want to cause trouble for other people. It would upset your parents, you think. And if you tell on the bully, it might even make things worse for yourself. So you just hope the bullying will stop. We understand that. Maybe you are being bullied by someone you thought was a  friend. Don’t want to lose them? Or an adult you thought you could trust is being scary.  At times like this you can feel that there is no one to turn to. Who will understand how you are feeling? We will try to help.

I was always a bit shy at school. Eventually I made it into the cool group. But it seemed to change me. To stay “in” with them you had to exclude people who were “out”. I was so so fixated on keeping my cool friends I started doing horrible things to other girls. No one wanted that to happen. Eventually they started to pick on me and that’s when my bullying started. Then my friends turned against me.

I heard about Act Against Bullying from my friends mum. I looked them up online. The advice from them was the best.  “If you can’t enter a group, then start your own.”  It was the turning point.  I didn’t care about the cool gang any more. I was my own person. The bullying stopped.  I made friends with someone who was “out”. Now everyone wants to be in my group because we have fun. We are all different. We like each other. “I’ll always be grateful to Act Against Bullying because they understood how complex bullying is.”
