Bullying can make you feel lonely and insignificant, anxious, frustrated and low in confidence. You may experience some or all of these feelings. What bullying looks like can be different to each person, for some it can be physical, whereas for others it might be verbal (either face to face or online). It can be a one-off event or it can be ongoing, but in any form it is hurtful and unacceptable and can make an individual’s life difficult. It affects over one million young people every year and can happen to anyone.
