Everyone felt that bullying was a major problem within the school.
-
We wanted to tackle it and do something about it.
-
But we also felt its always part of a chain reaction.
-
It could be me, it could be you, it could be anyone.
-
The bully is a victim too.
-
And thats how we used tranisition year.
-
When you are being bullied you feel isolated, worthless, alone.
-
If you are told you are useless often enough you start to believe it.
-
Girls bullying is more verbal, there is a lot of bitchness and gossip.
-
It's really, really vicious.
-
We also found that a lot of the bullying takes place in the bathroom.
-
So we decided to tackle the toilets and change it there.
-
And alot of the girls said they could relate to that.
-
The best thing was feeling that we had done something ourselves.
-
The most important thing is to tell someone, someone you trust.
-
Students themselves can stop the bullying.
-
We can stop it.
