bullying

It was so sad to hear the story this week in the news about Natashia Jackman, 15 who was attacked with a pair of scissors at her college and needed surgery on her left eye. Bullying is a huge problem in the UK, here are some stats...
- Every seven seconds someone in Britain is being bullied
- One in five secondary school pupils have experience of bullying
- Bullying can happen anywhere; one in four people are bullied at work
- Bullying can make you feel depressed, shy, isolated, insecure and even suicidal
- Most people who bully have been bullied themselves
- In many cases the effects of bullying aren't visible at all. But this doesn't mean they're less hurtful.
- 20,000 young people got help last year when they spoke out against bullying.
Anti-bullying week is 21-25th Nov 05.

so sorry to hear that. that's tough. but there's loads of help and support you can get. make sure you remember that you are precious to God and no-one can take that away from you.

I have been trying to get some sort of help but i am too shy to seek for it, its mainly just at college where i get bullied and i have thought about quitting it just because of the bullies but then i thought then i am showing that they are getting to me

Some people say it was natashia who bullied and the black girl just got roped in to it. The girl who had the scissors did not even know her. Natashia was bullied by other girls in the school and the girl who had the scissors to cut something was in the wrong place at the wrong time when Ms Jackman called her a black whore and a dirty nigger so people say. Wonder what really happened?
