Why we must stop bullying

Bullying can destroy lives — not just for the victim, but for those around them. Whether it’s cyberbullying, children being left out at school,  or emotional harassment, our aim is simple:
Support the bullied. Help families. Educate teachers. And guide bullies toward change.

No one bullies because they’re happy. Unchecked, that pain turns outward — hurting others. We believe everyone can change.

What some of our supporters say about Act Against Bullying

My son was being bullied at school and lacked confidence. My husband told him he had to stand up for himself but he couldn’t. He just wasn’t that type of boy. When he met with Act Against Bullying his behaviour changed overnight. I called to find out what the charity had said to him. They found out that he was good at drama. He was to pretend he was playing a part when he went into the classroom. It helped him through. They made him feel good about himself. He will never be a tough guy, but he is a star.   “Act Against bullying is my favourite charity. They are one hundred per cent genuine.”

Mother

We held a Cool to be Kind Day at our school.  I asked everyone to talk about kind things they’d had done to them. We nominated kind pupils and presented them with an Act Against Bullying certificate. We got lots of ideas from the charity to help us. We discussed how kindness and bullying were linked. It was a positive class session. The atmosphere was really good.  The children loved it. If every day could be like that we would have no more bullying in school.

Teacher

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.”
