Need help

 

If you or any of your friends are being bullied online or on your mobile you can do something about it.

Speak up to stop bullying!

Tell an adult. Talk to your mum, dad, or a teacher. Telling them doesn't make you a grass. Talking to your friends will make you feel better, but remember to speak to an adult - they can really help.

If you're not sure you are ready to talk to someone face to face about bullying, here are a few helplines and email addresses specially set up for young people like you. All calls are free and you don't need to tell them who you are if you don't want to:

ChildLine 0800 1111
NSPCC 0808 800 5000
Connexions 080 8001 3219 / contact form
Samaritans 08457 90 9090 / jo@samaritans.org
Bullybusters 0800 169 6928 / help@bullying.co.uk / contact form
