Fifth Meeting
\nThink Feel Do<\/h2>\n

\"thinkfeeldo-2\"<\/p>\n

In this session the CP Investigators were asked\u00a0to think about 5 adults they would talk to about being bullied; what do those adults need to THINK, FEEL & DO to help and what might adults THINK, FEEL & DO which may be unhelpful to them?<\/p>\n

“Adults need to be nice.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“What we need from adults is; Trust, Respect, Respect our Human Dignity, Talking and listening.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Tell the bullies off.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“People you trust.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Family and Friends.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Negative responses \u2013 Can you help me? Deal with it yourself.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Positive responses \u2013 Please help me! OK how can I help.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Adults should think; Find out the whole story before I take action – But I think I can believe him because he doesn\u2019t have a reason to lie <\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nI have to do something to help \u2013NOW!”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“I\u2019ll help you. GO AWAY BULLY. I\u2019ll tell a teacher.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Ideas are like seeds which take time to grow (talking about adults respecting children\u2019s human dignity).”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“It would be really hard to do something if I saw someone being bullied. I would feel awkward.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Adults don\u2019t always listen to children.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“A PSA told me that they don\u2019t like dealing with complaints and that I should deal with it myself. It made me feel really angry.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“You can lose confidence in adults when they don\u2019t listen.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“I want to be respected and believed.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Adults need to find out the whole story before they act.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Telling my parents can be scary. If I speak up I might get into trouble.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“Hitting back is the answer or it (bullying) just won\u2019t stop. I asked for help and nothing happened.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n“It would be good if PSA\u2019s and teachers got some training about how to deal with bullying.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
