do you need help ?
Question: What should i do if the bullies have threatened to "Beat me up" if i tell anyone what they are doing.
Answer: Anything you tell anyone will be treated with confidentiality which means they will only tell someone what you have told them if they need to. When teachers are dealing with bullying in schools they will never mention you name and they can even pretend another student has reported the bullying.
Just because the bully has gotten into trouble it dose not mean it was you who told someone.
