If you’ve been bullied or belittled at home, school, work or online, you don’t have to suffer alone. There are 1 helplines in Burkina Faso for people who’ve been victims of bullying. Bullying can be physical or psychological, direct or indirect, but whatever form it takes, it always hurts. Bullying can look like:

• You have been trolled, insulted or humiliated on social media.
• You have been repeatedly threatened or harmed by others.
• You have repeatedly been the victim of threatening gestures or physically harassment
• One or more people has repeatedly called you names and teased or humiliated you.

• You have been embarrassed by the spreading of rumours, whether made up or true.
• Someone has repeatedly made inappropriate or discriminatory comments about you.
• You have been excluded from activities and social groups in a hurtful or humiliating way.

Bullying has many faces, but it is never earned or deserved. While bullying might make you feel inferior, ugly, ashamed and alone, it is never a true reflection of who you are. You are loved, valued and understood. There are people waiting to support you, so reach out.

The victims of bullying are always innocent, and bullying is never deserved. Although you may feel trapped, alone or incapable, there are people in Burkina Faso who care and can provide you support. Helpline volunteers and counselors will offer you a listening ear and will work through difficult emotions with you.
