James is a good student and he has lots of friends,but he also has a problem. Some older boys are

bullying(款负) him at school. James is very unhappy and he doesn't know what to do about it. Here are

some sugges-tions to him and other teenagers in this situation.

     Don't feel worried. It's not your fault(过错) ! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry ,

but you are not alone. Don't feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can

trust, and tell him. It might be  your teacher, your parents , or even  your friend's parents. After you tell

someone , you will get some support and feel some relief (解脱) .

     Speaking to an adult might make you nervous, but  here are other things you can do. Some people

express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter tosomeone or keep a diary. Include all the

details (纲节) about what the bullies do,as well as when and where the bullying happens. You can use

it as proof to show what is going on. And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher

or another

responsible adult. Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter !

     Also,don't show you are sad and don't try and fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself.

Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.
