Have I been targeted by acts of bullying?

Rumours, threats, and isolation, in person or in cyberspace, are just a few examples of the different forms that bullying may take. Bullying does not necessarily include criminal acts, but it can deeply wound the targeted people.

No one needs to accept feeling humiliated, hurt, oppressed, or aggrieved. Whatever the situation, it is important to act, despite fear or concerns, and to ensure one’s safety and that of others.

There are solutions. You have rights and remedies. There are various resources to help you regain control over the situation, to report the situation, and to put an end to bullying.
