Bullying affects children and adults at home, school, work and online, making victims feel trapped, isolated and alone. If you’ve ever been the victim of bullying, you need not suffer in silence. There are 3 helplines in Trinidad and Tobago where you can get the support and understanding you deserve. These are some common experiences of people being bullied:

• You have been socially isolated and made to feel different, ashamed and alone.
• Your possessions have purposely been damaged or taken by others on a regular basis.
• Someone has repeatedly made inappropriate or discriminatory comments about you.
• You have been taunted, teased, threatened or harmed by others.
