Cyberbullying

What is bullying?

It's more than just a fight or disliking someone.

It’s being mean to someone over and over again.

It can involve violence, intimidation and harassment.

Bullying is when someone or a group of people repeatedly use words or actions to hurt you.

Bullying can happen anywhere – at home, with friends, in a group, at school, on the bus or at school, online and on social media platforms.

Bullying is serious - it is not funny - it causes pain for others.

The YourCrew team does not tolerate bullying.

We do, however, applaud people who are strong enough to say sorry for what they have done, we applaud people who say, “stop doing that. I don’t like it” and we applaud people who tell others that bullying is not tolerated.

These are our values. What are yours?
