If young people around you are bullying other young people and you feel you may be left out if you didn't join in, you could become a bully yourself.
Some young people think that bullying is a way of getting respect. This is not true. Bullying causes lots of misery for anyone who is bullied. Remember, you have the choice not to bully others.
If you bully other pupils, you need to get help. Just like if you are being bullied, it is important to tell an adult you can trust if you have started being a bully. Don't worry about getting into trouble. It takes courage to admit that you have been a bully and an adult could help you find out why you are bullying other pupils and help you stop being a bully.
Sometimes, if you don't feel good about yourself, you may start bullying other people. An adult can help you find other ways to make you feel better about yourself.
