What do you do if someone calls you a bully?
Being called a bully can be confusing. Many times we don't realize that our actions are indeed bullying. Often we think they we're just messing with someone or trying to be funny. The problem is that people don't see things the same way.
The Bully Eraser tool is a strategy that will help you fix the problem.
