Question

    Thirteen-year-old Sophie had been bullied (欺凌) at school for over two years. She had had her keys and mobile phone stolen. She had also been knocked off her bicycle, kicked and punched(以拳重击). She tried to fight back, but it always seemed to be her, not the bullies, who got into trouble.

Her headmaster encourages students to look after one another. He encouraged Sophie to play the guitar in a school concert. It gave Sophie new confidence and earned her respect from the other students.

Sadly, Sophie’s story is not rare. Bullying is always around us. They can take many forms. And there are new bullies. Cyber (网络的) bullies can be harder to avoid and harder to catch. It is too easy to send a nameless threat by text, or post something insulting (侮辱的) on social media. Yet the results can be serious for the victim.

But help is out there. There are many charities and organizations giving support to young people. Remember one very important piece of advice: If you are being bullied, don’t put up with it – tell someone.
