Bullying is the ongoing abuse of another person through physical, emotional or verbal means, often in the presence of others. Nobody has the right to hurt you physically or emotionally even if they are in a position of authority or they say they love you.  Abuse is wrong. Always refuse to accept abuse and remember that secrecy is an abuser’s best weapon, so NEVER KEEP IT A SECRET and remember HELP IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE. The most important thing is to tell somebody you trust.
