Bullying.



In my opinion i think that bullying is one of the worst things to go through if you’re a child or teenager. Children who are bullied tend to be: Sensitive, Socially withdrawn they may think poorly of themselves, or they may have a quiet temperament, Passive they often let other people be in control and do not stand up for themselves.
According to a website called Web MD “Boys are more likely than girls to be bullied in both physical and psychological ways”

In my opinion i think that a child who is bullied sometimes ends up bullying others. These children often respond to being bullied by feeling anxious and aggressive. Without knowing how to handle these feelings, they target other children who they think will not fight back.

There are lots children out there who are getting bullied but they are to scared or embarrassed to tell their parents. Lucky for me i have never been bullied at school. I don’t think i have bullied others well not to their face anyway. I so don’t know if you can call to bullying.
The Government has made tackling bullying in schools a key priority and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) has made it clear that no form of bullying should be tolerated. Bullying in our schools should be taken very seriously; it is not a normal part of growing up and it can ruin lives.

Now days there is a lot of support for children who experiencing bullying such as:
The Anti-Bullying Alliance and NASUWT, with support from the DCSF, have created a leaflet to support parents to talk to their children about bullying. Keep an eye on it provides information for parents and adults working with young people on how to spot the signs of bullying and what they can do to help.

There is advice for young people who are concerned about bullying on the Direct Gov website.
In November 2004 celebrities such as Sports stars Kelly Holmes and Rio Ferdinand who signed up to a new campaign, to try to tackle bullying in schools. There have also been lots of TV adverts to get the message across about bullying. Children were encouraged to wear a blue wristband. In my opinion i think that this was a very good way to get the message across not only about bullying but to show the children that are getting bullied that they are not alone. I also think that wearing the wristband was a good way to get the message across showing people who are getting bullied they are supported and the people who are bullying that we are against it.
