Thousands of girls are unhappy because they are victims of bullying at school. Unfortunately, these girls sometimes feel embarrassed because there are many misunderstandings about bullying. Here are some of the most common misunderstandings.

1. Bullying is "a guy thing."

Girls can be just as mean as guys. The only difference is that girls fight words and body language instead of fists ane feet.

2. girls who bully are self-confident.

Believe it or not, bullies are often the people with the worst self-esteem! They think that if they hurt others, people will respect them more.

3. I get bullied because I'm not good enough

The truth is, some gilrs are actually bullied because they are talented! bullies are jealous of those who are more talented than they are.

4. If I'm getting bullied, there's nothing I can do about it.

Not true! Bullies want you to get angry, fight with them, or even cry. So the best thing you can do is not respond. If you don't respond, it's no longer fun for them and they may stop.
