How do I forget about bullying I've encountered in the past?
Working with a counselor can help you to process and express the experience of being bullied. There are many types of therapy that can help with the trauma associated with being bullied. You can do some research online into Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which are helpful in processing trauma, or reach out to your school counselor and ask for a referral.
What if I don't have friends while I'm bullied?
Having friendships helps to create a vital resource for coping in all areas of life, including bullying. Joining an interest group is a good way to meet people who are interested in the same things you are, like a church group, a gaming group, or a hobby group.
I've told a teacher about being bullied, but they didn't do anything. What do I do now?
If you have advised a teacher and your parents, please speak with your school counselor. Use the words "I don't feel safe" when explaining the situation. Ask them what they are going to do to protect you.
