If you are being bullied

For young people, being bullied can be a scary, difficult and isolating experience. Don’t feel like you have to go through it alone. There is a community of support right here in Stark County with helpful resources and trusted adults to help you with next steps.

Bullying can be emotional, like when someone uses unkind words or spreads rumors about you. Or, it can be physical acts of fighting, tripping or hitting. When bullying happens online, it is considered cyberbullying.

No matter how it happens, it is important that you report bullying to someone you trust. Learn who you can reach out to in Stark County if you are being bullied.

Talk to a school counselor

Contact your local school counselor to report bullying at your school.
