Suggestions...

2. Keep a diary or journal of what is happening
3. Stick with a group/avoid being alone
4. Avoid areas where the bully is likely to be
5. Don't fight back, if you can help it
6. Try not to show you are angry or upset

You may call the office at any time to report bullying. Mr. Williamson, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Stowers, Assistant Principal, Mrs. Ashmore, Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Farley, Guidance Counselor, and I are more than willing to take your call.
