=Adolescents of all Ages,= The best way to stop bullying is to tell someone. The person to tell can be anyone such as a school official or your parents or just someone you trust. Retaliation or fighting back never helps the situation and waiting for the bullying to stop or get better doesn't work either. Make sure that you are familiar with your school's bullying policy and that the school officials are following the policy exactly. Bullying will end but it is up to you to start the process and the only way to start is to TELL SOMEONE.

Never assume that
 * the bullying will dissipate on its own
 * the bullies will mature and stop
 * the bullying will not worsen
 * bystanders will help
 * parents and faculty know what to do (know the policy yourself)
 * telling will make it worse
 * it can't be stopped
 * retaliation is the solution
