— Imagine no one, not even your parents, believing you after you claimed you were bullied at school.

That’s what one student at Bankbridge Regional School in Gloucester County, N.J., says happened to him. So he decided to take things into his own hands and videotape the bully who happened to hold an important position; he was his teacher.

“It makes me feel like I’m trash,” 15-year-old Julio Artuz told NBC Philadelphia.

The school district announced Wednesday night that they had a plan in place to take disciplinary action against the teacher.

NBC10 investigators showed Artuz’s cellphone video (above) to David Arnold. Arnold represents parents of children with special needs when they have problems with school districts. After watching the video, Arnold said that situations like Julio’s should be handled in private. He also stressed that students should feel comfortable in their classroom, so that they can ask questions.

In one part of the tape, other students at their desks clearly hear the exchange. Hairston contacted the school district, who said that they put the teacher on administrative leave pending board of education action. After the story aired, the school district emailed this additional statement from Superintendent Michael Dicken:

What should you do if you feel that you’re being bullied?

Dr. Nicole Lipkin, a psychologist who has written books about the “Y” generation has some helpful advice for children who are the victims of bullying.

“Don’t wait to tell someone,” said Lipkin. “There is help out there.” Lipkin also says that it’s important for kids to understand that bullying is happening more frequently than they think.
