Handling bullying alone is not the best approach.

By involving others, the victim can receive emotional support, practical advice, and potentially put an end to the bullying. Handling bullying alone may lead to feelings of isolation, increased stress, and a lack of resolution. Therefore, it is advisable to reach out for assistance when facing bullying.
