If your mate has been bullied, or just seems a bit off - check in on them. đź’™

You don’t need to know exactly what’s going on, you don’t need to have the right advice. You don’t even need to fix anything.

Just check in.

A “are you okay?” Or “I’m here if you need me” can go a long way.

For someone who’s being bullied, knowing a mate has noticed and cares enough to reach out can mean a lot.

So if you’ve been wondering whether you should check in, take this as your sign. Send the text.

Your story could help someone else feel less alone. đź’™

Bullying can stay with us long after the moment has passed. For some, it can shape how we see ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.

By sharing your story, you can help others feel less alone, raise awareness of the real impact of bullying, and help us keep the conversation going.

With your permission, stories may be shared through Dolly’s Dream awareness campaigns, advocacy work, fundraising activities or media opportunities — helping educate others and inspire positive change.

If you’d like to share your experience with Dolly’s Dream, please complete our short form via the link below. You’ll only need to share what you feel comfortable sharing.

Sometimes strength looks like asking for help, speaking up or letting someone know you’re not okay.

You might not know how strong you are until you’re tested. And you don’t have to face the hard stuff on your own. 💙

If bullying is affecting you or someone you care about, support is available through Dolly’s Dream.

Call our Bullying Support Line 13 DOLLY (13 36 55) or visit our Bullying Support Hub.

You are not alone.

"I know what it’s like to be bullied. Please know you are not alone and that Dolly’s Dream is here to help."

When Logan started high school, she never expected to experience bullying that would leave her feeling isolated, scared and unsure of where to turn.

For Logan and her family, it was a challenging time. Her dad, Matt, remembers feeling helpless as a parent, wanting to support his daughter but not always knowing how to make things better.

Finding connection with Dolly’s Dream helped Logan realise her story mattered, and that other young people were going through similar experiences.

Inspired by Dolly’s story, Logan and her family wanted to turn their experience into something positive. Together, they transformed their concrete truck, covering it with butterflies and the Dolly's Dream 'Be Kind' message to start conversations about bullying in their community. Each year they raise funds for Dolly's Dream to support our bullying support services.

Today, Logan uses her voice to remind others that they are not alone and asking for help is a sign of strength.

Thank you, Logan and Matt, for sharing your story and helping create a kinder community. đź’™

If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying, support is available. Call 13 DOLLY (13 36 55)

When Tarran shared her story of being targeted by image-based abuse as a teenager, she knew it might help someone else feel less alone.

What we didn’t expect was just how far that story would reach, and how many people had a similar story.

More than 300 people left messages of support and behind those comments came messages from parents whose children had experienced something similar, and from people who had been through it themselves and were finally ready to reach out.

Some people told us their story and some asked what they could do to help their child. That’s the ripple effect of speaking up.

One person sharing their experience can give someone else the courage to recognise what’s happening, start a conversation or ask for help.

If Tarran’s story has brought something up for you or your family, you don’t have to work out what to do next on your own.

The Dolly’s Dream’s Bullying Support Line is here for young people and adults, including parents, carers and educators.

Call 13 DOLLY (13 36 55) or use our webchat to talk with a qualified counsellor: https://ow.ly/yUI350ZNEm0

Sometimes, asking for help starts with simply saying, “This is happening. What do I do?”

Adam James set himself a huge challenge. To run 99km in one day to raise funds for Dolly's Dream.

“Whenever I hit those low points, I reminded myself why I was out there. I thought about Dolly, about the kids facing bullying every single day, and about the incredible support from my family, friends, workmates and everyone who donated.”

He raised over $30,000 for Dolly's Dream! You can read his full story here: https://dollysdream.org.au/stories-and-news/going-the-long-distance

A huge thank you & congratulations to Adam for smashing this challenge!

Spend a day with us at a school visit! đź’™

We have a team of School Engagement Coordinators who spend most of their time running workshops in schools all over Australia. No matter the post code, we’ll be there!

No two schools are the same, sometimes there might only be a handful students in the whole school! So this is what a “typical” day might look like!
