Bullying in schools
Someone told me recently that her son was bullied in school. I can see how some people would exclaim, "And you call that news? Wake up to the real world, you, naive .... etc" True. One can take it for granted, but look, it is a crime really. Only, it is a kind of a crime for which very few are held responsible. Teachers say, "Well, we can't really... it all comes down to the family and we can't change certain attitudes. We are doing our best of course, but... bla,bla, bla." Nice, eh? A child aged 7 is on the ground and two 10 year olds put their shoes on his face and the teacher can't do much about it. And this is in a very "good" area of London. In fact, bullying in schools is widespread and some children took their own life as a result. Others become depressed, emotionally disturbed ... or start bullying themselves. What are your thoughts about it? Make a comment. You are also welcome to find my book (fiction) called "An Ordinary Black Cat" and add your comments about that e-book available from www.catyourway.com Thank you!

G'Day Alex,
Thanks for the message, I will have a look later and have bookmarked your magic page. Also your bit about bullying. Yes, it is all over the world, and it is not just children who experience it, I can pick adults in the workplace who would have been very good at it as children. It is very wrong but I think it is a inevitable part of human nature and we all need to live with it and handle it because it will be with all of us for the rest of our lives in one form or another. Some of us live with its consequences, which can have a big impact on our future lives and personalities. Hmmm.... big subject.
