Hey guys I'm Rahart Adams here and I'm with ReachOut Australia to talk to you about how you can talk about your bullying experiences 

If you're being bullied it can be really hard to even gain the courage to talk about it but it is really important that you do; so we're here with five steps that will make it easier for you to talk about bullying

The first step is to think about why you haven't spoken to somebody about it yet I call this 'kick your worries to the curb' 

ReachOut works really closely with mental health experts and they all recommend that talking to somebody about your bullying experiences is the biggest and most important step that you can take to help yourself 

I get it; maybe you feel like starting the first conversation is scary and talking to somebody else is just getting somebody else in troubles but that's not the reality the fact is is that your health happiness and safety comes first and you don't have to deal with this on your own 

take the time to acknowledge your worries but don't let them get in the way of getting the support that you need

If you've already told someone like a like a friend or a teacher and you feel like they weren't listening, it's really important that you don't give up and that you talk to somebody else about it, there's plenty more information about this in the fifth video in this series

That's it for now guys I'll be back in the next video with step two and if you'd like more information about bullying and how you can deal with it; visit us at reach out comm or leave a comment in the forums until then I'll see you guys next time
