This week we have been discussing bullying in class and at assembly. We talked about the different ways bullying is shown, and some of the reasons why people bully. Both physical and emotional abuse have been brought up by P6/7, as well as the fact that hurt people hurt people: it is often the case that someone who has been bullied (or is being bullied) will take out their frustrations on others.

Alongside our Pope Francis Faith Award we have looked at how bullying is a clear lack of respect for another person. We hope to look more into this important issue in the near future, and the ways in which we as a class can help to deal with bullying in any form.
