It's awful that you have had to move schools because of bullying and now it's happening again.

I think you need some help with this because bullying can really get to us and it needs to be stopped. I work in a cleft lip and palate team and it's part of my job to ask young people about whether they are bullied.

If you lived in my area I would get involved and try to help you to get this sorted out. I don't know which area you live in but there are psychologists in most of the teams around the country. It's the psychologist's job to help with bullying. They can also tell the school how much of a problem it is to make sure that if the young person wants to stay at that school the bullying stops. They can also give you ideas to try so you can deal with bullying yourself if this is a good idea.

Can you let us know the area you live in so that we can give you the telephone number of the psychologist in your area, by emailing through the website or by contacting sandy at ?

It's great that you have told us about it. You need to let other people know now so that they can talk to you and help you to plan what to do to sort it out.
