>> Hey, everyone! Welcome back to PACER Talks About Bullying. I'm Bailey, and we're so happy you're here.

Today we're excited to bring you another episode, where we answer some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive from you, our amazing audience. The question I'll be answering today is: Can my friend be bullying me?

This is a really common question that we get from kids and teens. Now that you know more about this week's question, let's get into the answer. The simple answer is yes. But we know it's not always that simple. Friends can sometimes have bad days. Friends can disagree. Friends can sometimes hurt each other and simply need time apart. This is normal and can happen in any friendship, no matter how close.

If you're experiencing treatment from a friend that hurts you and you've asked them to stop but they still continue, then that's not friendship. That behavior could be bullying. Friendship behaviors do not include hurting someone on purpose or continuing to be mean when someone asks you to stop. A friend will change or feel bad about their behavior if they realize that they're hurting you.

If you aren't certain if what's happening is a part of normal friendship or if it's bullying, talk with an adult you trust and get help sorting out the relationship. You deserve to be around people that treat you like a friend and that you trust and respect.

And with that, that's a wrap on this week's episode of PACER Talks About Bullying. If you want more information on this topic, check out the questions answered section of our website @pacer.org/bullying. We'll see you right back here next week as we have students answer the exact same question. We'll see you then. And remember, together, we can create a world without bullying. See ya.
