Bullying can manifest in various forms, from spreading rumors to cyberbullying, and can occur anywhere—from schools and parks to online platforms. Every form of bullying is hurtful, and some can have severe consequences. To combat bullying, it’s essential to respect others, think before you communicate, and treat others as you wish to be treated. Remember, the law is on your side against harassment and malicious communications. If you experience or witness bullying, reach out to trusted adults or authorities for help.
