MYTH: "I can't handle it when people are mean to me."

The focus this week is to provide our young people with strategies for 'Handling Direct Bullying'. 

DIRECT forms of bullying include teasing and physical bullying.

Steps for 'Handling Teasing and ' Handling Physical Bullying' in more detail.

We will cover INDIRECT bullying such as cyberbullying, rumours and gossip in a later session.

Bullying can be common in adolescence, but unfortunately, it also happens with adults. It is important to note that we are not going to encourage participants to talk about specific experiences where they may have been bullied, instead we are going to focus on what we can do in these situations to make it less likely that we are bullied again, and strategies to address the situation if it does occur again.
