It's not only kids at school who can be your bully; there are often bullies on your sports team, in your neighborhood, at the park, and sometimes even in your own home.

Many parents overlook the signs of sibling bullying as nothing more than their kids bickering. The truth is, though, that your older (or younger) brother or sister can be a bully, and they can cause a lot of anxiety, depression, and fear, making your own home an unsafe place to be. When one child consistently harms or humiliates his or her sibling, it needs to be addressed. If your parent brushes it off as just another family squabble and you know that it is more dangerous than that, then reach out to another trusted adult, such as your teacher, grandparent, or family friend.

There are plenty of kids on the playground who are territorial of certain equipment, basketball courts or baseball diamonds, or areas of the park, and they will do whatever it takes to be sure you don't interfere with whatever game they're playing, or planning on playing. If there isn't an adult to help or supervise, it's wise to avoid these sections of the park, or to find a different playground in the area.

If you are being bullied on your sports team by another player, tell your coach, parent, or another adult. Also, reach out to your team captain as it's his or her responsibility to be sure the team is working well as a team.
