Bullying

[antanddec]

Just watched a Sky News clip about bullying, two boys, 14 and 9 years old committed suicide because of this abuse.

I was bullied at Berwick High School, I think because I was quiet of all reasons! I still see the people daily who did it to me, I would not lower myself to their standards so I acknowledge them when they speak to me now.

The bullying affected me in many ways as I hated my three years at school, I dreaded going every day and missed out on a time which should have been the best of my life.

I left school at 16 and went straight into work, some 30 years ago, I have children at the same school now and bullying still goes on but is dealt with more effectively today.

I feel for the families of the two boys that took their short lives, I hope the scum that drove them to this get their just rewards.

oh that's such a sad story
when I was at school a girl cornered me in the toilet and ripped my school jumper but I thought nah your not getting away with that and fought back, she never tried again and I used to see her working in the doctors reception
but no everybody's the same, I hate bully's so if I saw anybody young or old getting bullied I would say something and i'm not young, because older folk get bullied too

glad you've put it behind you antanddec well done, there's some horrible folk around when you think of it

Think the people that do the bullying have something to hide.

Agreed, most bullies have problems.

Bullyings bad and i always think its odd that once they leave school the school bullys seem to forget what theyve done and have the cheek to speak to those they bullied as if nowt had happened

[antanddec]

Agreed!
