Anti-bullying Week

On Wednesday this week, a campus police officer came in and she talked about bullying and cyber bullying. Bullying is face-to-face and cyber bullying is online. – Isaac

She mentioned using different apps and cyber bullying can really hurt other people and it can happen anywhere and not just outside, e.g. you could be sitting in your bedroom reading hurtful text messages. – Zunairah

The police officer told us a story about a girl who was popular with her classmates and very clever but sadly people made a group chat on Whatsapp and said horrible things about her. The police got involved and she wasn’t wanting to go to school or eat food because she was so terrified. – Lewis

The main message that we learned is that you do not want to be the person that would make others feel bad about themselves and don’t do things to people you wouldn’t want done to yourself. – Ethan

We also watched a video about a child who had epilepsy and he had a lot of seizures. Boys were bullying him and a girl and her dad saw it. The dad laughed and his daughter got mad with him at home because she wanted him to stop the boys and give them into trouble. – Sophie W

We learned that it is not nice to laugh at people whether they have a disability, a hidden disability or no disability at all. – Ava

I have also learned that even though the bullying could be cyber (on your phone), it could still be physical because it can cause you to hurt yourself. – Ismail
