Around 16 pupils in the UK kill themselves every year due to distress over bullying. Their schools often say they had no idea what was going on. But the bullies know exactly what they've been doing - and so do their friends. It's too late to have regrets when someone has died, or been made so ill they need medical treatment .You run quite a few risks if you bully someone else. You could get a warning, detention, temporary or permanent exclusion (expulsion). A violent, one-off incident harming another pupil could be grounds for expulsion. If an incident involves violence, text phone, internet abuse or demands for money then the victim and their parents should, and probably will, make a complaint to the police. If you are over the age of criminal responsibility, which is 10 in England and Wales, you could be charged with assault or harassment. Even if the case doesn't go to court but results in a caution that could still have a serious effect on your future. If you bully someone out of school the council or police could apply for an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO). Bullies think that if they use false names on the internet they can get away with it but they can't. Please think about what your doing remember how would you feel if you was the person suffering from being bullied.
