You deserve to feel safe & protected

Bullying, whether in person or online, can hurt your confidence and make you feel isolated. But there are steps you can take to feel stronger and safer. This guide gives you coping strategies and introduces apps and resources designed to help.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Sharing what’s happening can make a huge difference. A parent, teacher, or Childline counsellor can help you feel supported.

Take Care of Your Mental Health

Try journaling, listening to music, or doing something creative. These activities can help you process your feelings.

Block and Report Online Bullying

If bullying happens online, use platform tools to block the person and report harmful content.

Use Support Apps

Apps like Tozi offer safe spaces to chat and get advice. Childline.ie also has a live chat, and ‘Ask the Team’ feature where you can get support.

Know Your Rights

Schools in Ireland must have anti-bullying policies. You deserve to feel safe, don’t be afraid to speak up.

Practice Positive Self-Talk

Remind yourself: bullying is about the bully, not you. You are worthy and valued.

  • Talking to someone is the first step to feeling better.
