Why do people bully?
This is a tough question as there are a million reasons why someone might choose
to bully another person. Some common reasons include wanting to feel superior, to
make their friends laugh, to feel popular and liked, or to get even with someone who
might have hurt them. If someone is bullying, it’s usually because they feel insecure
in themselves or are trying to reclaim some control of a situation by lashing out.
How to tell if you’re a bully...

Bullying isn’t limited to calling someone “stupid” or hitting
them. There is a whole heap of ways you could be doing it
without even knowing...
<28/($9(0($1&200(1762127+(53(23/( 6
1 3+2726
It could be a classmate, colleague or even a celeb, but leaving
sarcastic or mean comments on anyone’s social media is
trolling. You might not mean it in a vicious way, but if it could
leave the person feeling hurt or embarrassed, it’s a form of
cyberbullying. Of course, it’s totally normal to roll your eyes
when your sister or friend posts their 20th selfie of the day,
but resist the urge to comment and post about it.
<286&5((16+273+2726$1'6(1'7+(072
2 <285)5,(1'6
Much like leaving mean or catty comments on Insta,
screenshotting someone’s photo and sending it to your friends
to gossip about is also bullying. While the person you’re
talking about doesn’t know what you’re doing, it’s not healthy
or kind.
<28$&7,9(/<,*125(&(57$,13(23/(,162&,$/

Purposely leaving people out in social situations is a classic
bullying move. If you’re hanging in a big group of people, but
you insist on leaving one or a few particular people out of the
conversation or the activity, that’s bullying. It’s OK not to
like everyone you meet in life – that’s completely normal and
sometimes people can get on your nerves - but you can easily
be friendly to people without having to be their bestie.

How to stop bullying

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
1 First of all, you’re not a bad person.
Growing up is hard and there can be so many
things going on in your life that cause you to
lash out or act in a way you normally wouldn’t.
What’s important is to take ownership and
apologise. It’s never too late to change and
you’ll learn an incredible life lesson.
DO A GOOD DEED
2 Stop screenshotting and gossiping and
start inviting someone who is left out to sit
with you or be kind to someone outside your
usual circle. Spreading the good vibes will put
you in a much better headspace and also help
the other person feel seen. So many people
are struggling mentally under the surface and
being kind could literally save their life.
DON’T BE A WATCHER
3 Even if you don’t think you’re a bully, you
could be a watcher. A watcher is someone
who watches someone else be a bully and does
nothing. If your bestie is constantly sending
you nasty messages about others and you’re
not calling them out, you’re a watcher. It’s OK
to take a stand if you see behaviour that’s not

don’t feel safe calling them out, make sure you

I started working in a hair salon at

a six-month-old baby and was
a single mum. I was living in Bali
at the time and I saw a highly

to go away and write down all my

words that instantly came to mind

This cult mascara collectively blew the minds of the beauty industry
when it was released, thanks to the hourglass-shaped wand and
impressive formula, which includes collagen, to create full, defined

GOALS
Next time you head to a party, add a shimmer of glitter to
your mane. Using a clean paintbrush, paint a small strip of
hair gel into a section of your hair, then dip your brush in
glitter and paint over the gel. It’ll stay put for hours and
wash out in the shower. Make sure it’s biodegradable glitter.

The thing you dislike
about your looks isn’t
going anywhere, so you
might as well embrace
it. Instead of spending
hours (and endless $$$)

your freckles, let them

DON’T WASH
YOUR HAIR ON

Overwashing can
strip your hair
of natural oils,
leaving it thinner

to breakage. It

My hair can become damaged

and straightening it at work so I do
treatments regularly. When it’s dirty
and I need to wash it the next day,
I’ll put in a treatment or natural oil
to soak in overnight. Then I use a
shampoo and conditioner called
Dry Remedy from Aveda and it’s
really good for
my hair. For
styling, I use a

shark week – whatever you call it,
periods are just one of those kinda
annoying parts of being a girl. But
they don’t have to be embarrassing!
Whether you’ve already starting
menstruating or are still waiting for
your p’s, we’re giving you a giggle-free
guide to navigating them.
GF the dl
The lowdown
Girls have their first period once they’ve reached
puberty, which usually happens anywhere between
10 and 16 years old, but the average age is 12.5. It’s a
normal part of the menstrual cycle, which basically
happens to prepare your body for pregnancy. The
lining of your uterus gets thicker to prepare for a
fertilised egg, but when this doesn’t happen during
the ovulation phase (when you release an egg), your
body sheds the uterus lining after about two weeks
through the vagina with blood. The average female
will have about 450 periods in her lifetime!
Your entire menstrual cycle is broken up into

four stages:
MENSTRUAL – begins when your period starts and
you are shedding the lining.
FOLLICULAR – your body is prepping your ovaries
to release an egg.
OVULATORY – this happens when you release an
egg to be fertilised.
LUTEAL – the phase between ovulation and your
next period.

RED ALERT
You might think this is a little TMI, but it’s important to know
what shades are normal...
CLEAR/WHITE This is actually vaginal discharge and occurs
normally in most women on days before or after your period, and
can change to a stickier consistency when you’re ovulating.
BROWN It can be this darker colour at either the very start or
the end of your period. It just means it’s taken longer to travel
down from your uterus.
BRIGHT RED The blood will most likely look brighter on your
heaviest days
DARK RED This tends to happen more when you’ve first woken
up and the blood has sat for longer in your vagina.

Why does
everyone make
such a fuss about
sex? My friend lost
her virginity this
year and everyone
made a big deal
about it.
There is a lot of
anticipation around
sex. People can
sometimes make a
big deal out of sex
because it’s often
something they
have longed to do
or because it makes
them feel like an
adult. You don’t
have to share your
thoughts on sex or
even your first time
with anyone as that
is personal to you.
But you do need to
accept that everyone
has a different view
about sex and that’s
OK. It doesn’t have
to be the same as
yours but it doesn’t
make yours wrong or
theirs right, as long
as no-one is getting
hurt or being pushed
into something.
Remember, the age
of consent is 16 years

It’s my first movie and I filmed it

part was filming the first scene where
my character Kenzie is introduced at

as a person and gets closer to Xander

film her in her element when she’s at

You and your besties Millie

are all growing up in the spotlight.
How do you navigate that?
I am really lucky to have two friends who
have dealt with so much more and have
such great advice and perspective. I’m so
grateful to be doing what I’m doing, and
the hardest thing is sometimes making a
normal teen mistake and having so many
people have an opinion. Having friends like
them makes it easier and it’s wonderful
knowing that I have such amazing friends
who I know I can trust with my life!
You’re all so busy! How do you

make time for your friendships?
It’s tough! But if you love people, you’ll
always make time for them, and you pick

other whenever we can, and Facetime is
really everybody’s saviour!
