As some one who was bullied till the second year at high school, I know what it feels like to dread arriving at school. To feel the absolute misery of spending breaks and lunch wandering round alone, avoiding certain students. It wasn't character builiding. A nightmare. I had to wait till I grew another foot taller before it stopped.
That it's still allowed to go on today unchecked, and is only highlighted when some poor kid (or even their mother as was recently the case!) tops themself, is a sad indictment. Some (not all!) parents seem to be alright with knowing its happening; as long as its not their kid getting bullied. Or worse, if their child is the bully.
I believe children who bully others should be removed from the mainstream classroom. Placed in a trouble makers division (along with disruptors) under stricter teachers. Serve detention, and be monitored far more closely. And further bullying should be classed as criminal. Disciplined, then if it continues, prosecuted.

Where do you draw the line?
Where violence is concerned (and most schools have cctv), I draw the line under every 12 yr old who has hung themself because they can't get help, and the education board has been in denial. Why not take the bully out of the circle, untill they can stop the disruptive abusive behaviour?
We need more discipline, and where violence is concerned, proper punishment. It amounts to abh.

After having suffered years of abuse from one girl, but not reporting it (although I am sure the teachers must have been aware) this girl went to our head of year and accused me of bullying, because I had made a few bitchy comments back.
When I told people what had happened their jaws dropped - they all knew the other girl was lying, but the head of year, being new, neither knew nor cared about the previous situation.
We need to get those who are really the bullies, rather than those who are just accused of bullying, to be punished. In this respect, CCTV would not be effective because the bullying I received was verbal rather than physical and CCTV doesn't record sound.

A lovely statement, and I agree with what you're saying about it being time it was sorted out. It's a pity, though, that your question only came as an afterthought (or after someone made some immature quip about wearing inverted crosses or pentagrams).
Yes, a pentagram is a five-pointed star ... not, as some would have you believe, a five-pointed star surrounded by a circle, a Wiccan symbol, which is called a pentacle.

I Agree!!.It should be tackled as some dangerous disease and Schools plus the parents should take strict action against it.Infact every child should be analyzed and if any one of them shows even a slight sign of it .It should be stopped there n then so it doesnt get a chance even to exsist or surface.People who get bullied at a young age get marred for life and its not fair!!....the bullies should be shamed openly in school maybe at the assembley time ..prosecuted!!!!!!!

I dont know what your question is but I can understand where you are coming from.
many years ago my daughter was in her last year of junior school and she come home with a boot mark on her back. I was horrified and she told me she had been set about by girls in her class what for because I went to work!! They classed her as a rich B**CH because of this of course we were not I was just a single mom going out to work to make a better life for my girls.
Well next day I went to see her class teacher and was horrified to hear it happenend in front of him in the class and he did knothing as he was not allowed to man handle his pupils not even lift one finger to pull one of the girls off!!
I took her that day out of school and straight into another one he could not do anything I could.
When the teachers hands are tied like that is must be very difficult to handle a bullying situation.
I remember when I was at school it was the teachers with the bullying power and not the children today PC gone mad if you ask me.

some children are truly bullied, but then their are others who will lie, hit and kick other children then run to someone in authority and say they were the ones getting bullied just to get others in trouble. where do you draw the line?

Easier solution, just wear metal shirts with inverted crosses and pentagrams, it keeps people in check.
