Young people – staying safe

You can support our campaign to end youth violence – Stop The Violence Now – by saying what you will do to make Lewisham safer for young people.

A bully is someone who makes you feel scared or unsafe, or gets you to do things you don't want to do.

There can be a lot of pressure to experiment with alcohol or to take drugs when you’re young. Find out how to get help if you are using substances.
