Bullies Out are looking for Peer Mentor Coordinator, Online Mentor and Marketing. What are Online Mentors Online Mentors are people helping and supporting each other online. It doesn't matter how big or small you feel the problem is our Online Mentors are here to listen to you and support you. Maybe you are being bullied, feeling a bit low or troubled about something and not sure what to do. It is not easy to speak about bullying (or any other issue) and our recent research showed that many young people would prefer to use a forum like this. Many adults also said they would use it. As our forum is used by young people, parents and professionals, our Mentors are all different ages, from 16 – adult. All have been trained and are volunteering their time online to help you. The forum is open between 5pm – 8pm daily. Our Mentors work on a rota system and if you would like to chat to a Mentor who is not online, you can message us and find out when they are available. Our Mentors will support you as much as they can, but its important to remember that for the bullying to be stopped, it is important you speak to your parents/carer and/or a teacher. What is bullying? Although each individuals experience of bullying is different, it is important to clarify what bullying is, and how it differs from other forms of abuse or anti-social behaviour. At BulliesOut, we define bullying as the wilful, conscious desire to hurt, control, threaten or frighten someone. It is when someone or several people, repeatedly over a period of time, do or say unpleasant things to another person or group of people, or keep teasing them in an unwanted way. Bullying generally takes on one of three forms: Physical, Verbal, Indirect. Types of bullying behaviours include: Physical: hitting, kicking, punching, slapping and other forms of violence. It also includes destroying personal belongings.
