“Last year, our Childline counsellors delivered more than 8,000 counselling sessions to children who were struggling with bullying. “We know this can be experienced in many ways, and our counsellors regularly hear from children who feel upset and humiliated by bullying online, in person or both. Without the right support in place, bullying can have a detrimental impact on a child’s mental health and can feel hugely overwhelming for children to navigate. “This Anti-Bulling Week, we want all children and young people to know that, if they are being bullied, they don’t need to struggle alone and Childline is here to support and help them.”
