Remember - You Are Not Alone in This [Bullying]

After one encounters a negative experience involving bullying, he or she may feel isolated, and that they are alone in this experience. It is important to remember that many people all over the world, are experiencing harassment and maltreatment, for many different reasons. If one does not know anyone being bullied, or hasn't witnessed this happening in their personal social circle, it is important to reach out for support, where one can feel that they share common experiences with people in the group. Participating in bullying support groups is one option for this, where you can talk about your experiences with people who have been through the same thing. Counselling is another option.

One thing is certain: nobody deserves bullying for any reason, whether it be in regards to their race, appearance, disabilities or medical conditions, sexual orientation, age, social status, or any other reason or situation. Bullying does not have anything to do with a victim; it is about factors having to do with a bully. One should strive not to take these negative incidents personally, or blame themselves for any negativity which has occurred towards them.

Stay strong...you are not alone in this.
