Why is this happening to me?
If you’re being affected by ASB it’s often not because of anything you have done, it is because people in the same area as you have decided to act in a way that may be making you feel scared or unhappy. It is important that you keep yourself safe if you are feeling like this. You can talk to an adult you trust who will be able to help you feel safer.
Is what's happening too small report?
Nothing that worries or scares you is too small to report or to tell someone about. It may be that other people have also reported things they think are small, but all together they paint a bigger picture of what is going on around you.
Isn’t it silly to feel scared about this?
Feeling scared is normal – it’s not embarrassing or silly to feel scared about what is going on around you. People who take part in ASB often want others to feel scared or intimidated by what they’re doing. It is important if you feel scared to keep yourself as safe as possible. Talking to an adult you trust, like a family member or teacher, about how you are feeling could also help.
