I'm glad the issue of child bullying is being taken seriously. I've been bullied myself and although it's not life-threatening it can ruin your life because it can make you so anxious and depressed that you can't do your studies efficiently.


But sadly, it is not always taken so seriously. I have read of schools here in Britain that refuse to acknowledge there is a problem even when confronted with evidence. And I guess also it can be life-threatening sometimes. There have been news reports of kids badly hurt when bullying has got out of control ... and there have been kids who have committed suicide because of longterm bullying, when they have believed that nobody would be able or willing to help them.

I can relate to all that.

I've been pushed shoved, hit, kicked, beaten up, had my stuff wreked by various boys and girls.

I haven't been all that nice to all people either and I strongly regret it.

Alot of people grow out of this and would be appalled at what they used to do.

But I think schools need to serverley punish people that bully. It is not a matter to be taken lightly.
