When he was fifteen, however, he decided to do something about his problems. He walked into anewspaper office and told them about the bullying.

When people are upset, they can talk on the phone or online to Rob and his team. Every weekend Rob has to answer e-mails to the website.

There’s nothing wrong with you, so you should try to keep trusting yourself. And remember that people care about your problems. You just have to find those people.”One of Rob’s ideas is “Blue Day”, a special day for s topping bullying in schools. Students have to wear blue clothes and in class they learn how to stop bullying.
