Bullies can make life a misery on the journey to and from school for everyone but there are things that can be done about it.
If you feel threatened on the school bus, try to sit near the driver. Or if it's an ordinary bus, by other adults.
If you are being bullied your parents or carer should contact the school, bus company or Travel South Yorkshire. We may be able to take action and withdraw Megatravel cards or ban bullies from the bus.
Expensive goodies are tempting to muggers so don't flash your mobile or MP3 player about.
If you feel worried about running into trouble see if you can get friends to walk home from the bus stop with you.
If people shout insults then don't reply. They will be doing this because they know it upsets you and also because they think it makes them look big in front of their friends.
The age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is ten so if people at school are bullying you your parents could make a complaint to the police.
It's not easy for the police to know who is telling the truth so keep a diary of who says and does what and who else was there and saw what was going on.
Look after your personal safety when you get off the bus. If it's dark then stick to well lit areas. If you feel unsafe then go to a shop and ask them if you can wait there while you phone your parents to collect you.
If the worst happens and you are hurt by one of the bullies then tell your parents who should report it to the police. Many offices, shops and streets are covered by CCTV so the bullies could be caught on film.
Unfortunately, young people who witness bullying like this are often afraid to tell the police what they saw in case they get bullied too. It can be helpful if you know the names of adults who have seen this happening to you.
Remember if you or anyone else is being bullied report the incident to the driver, your school, police or through this website. You won’t even have to give your name.
