You're feeling unsafe.
If you don't feel safe — at school, online, or at home — that matters and it is not your fault. Telling someone is not snitching. It's how it stops.
Things that actually help
- 01
Write down what happened, when, and who saw it. Details make adults act.
- 02
Pick two adults, not one. If the first doesn't help, go to the second.
- 03
Screenshot anything online before you block it.
- 04
Travel with a person: hallways, bus stop, locker room, walk home.
- 05
If you are in danger right now, call 911. If you're not sure, call or text 988.

Talking to a trusted adult
"I don't feel safe and I need help. Can we talk somewhere private?"
"This has happened more than once. I wrote it down."
Counselor, nurse, teacher, coach, principal, 988 — keep going until someone acts.
If it feels like too much
