Speakout Hotline

Refuse to join in if you see someone being bullied. Try to resist pressure to join in.
Attempt to defuse bullying situations when you see them starting up. Try to draw attention away from the targeted person; however, never place yourself at risk.
If you can do so without risk to your own safety, get a teacher, parent, or other responsible adult to come help immediately.
Speak up and/or offer support to bullied peers when you witness bullying. If you cannot do this at the time, privately support those being hurt with words of kindness or condolence later.
Encourage the bullied peer to talk with parents or a trusted adult.
