In terms of local information the Derbyshire County Council B-line website has a special section on how to beat the bullies further details available by clicking here, which includes the following top tips if you are being bullied :
1. Don’t ignore bullying – it won’t go away on its own and it may get worse.
2. Tell someone you trust – such as a teacher, parent or friend.
3. Remember – it’s not your fault. No one deserves to be bullied.
4. Keep a record – and save any nasty texts or emails that you have been sent. You can download a ChildLine bullying diary from: www.childline.org.uk/bullying.asp.
5. Stay away from the bullies or stay with a group when you don’t feel safe.
6. Ask your mates to look out for you.
7. Don’t be horrible back – you could get into trouble or get hurt.
8. Check your school’s antibullying policy. This will tell you what your school should do about bullying.
