Fitting In

It may be hard to make friends and to feel like you fit in. You may be in a new class and feel shy about talking to new people. You could have also lost some friends.

Being Bullied

Bullying is when someone is mean to you on purpose. This could inlude:

  • calling you names
  • hitting you
  • making you feel left out.

It’s wrong and is never your fault. You deserve to feel happy at school and your teachers are there to help you. It can really help to tell one of them what’s been happening. We have some advice that could help.

Finding school work hard

You could be in a new class this year and have new subjects to learn. Maybe some subjects at school are really difficult for you. You could also feel pressure to do well at school.
