- to be an individual and be proud of being different
- to say "no" firmly to anything you think is wrong
- to protect yourself by ignoring others, or by walking away
- to tell a member of staff if someone is making you unhappy
- not to be bullied
Your Responsibilities

- not to be a bully
- not to put up with any form of bullying
