WHAT IS BULLYING?

"Bullying is not an unpleasant fact of life. People can do something about it. What we've learnt in our mentoring programme is that people learn how to bully and they can UNLEARN IT. Nobody wants to come to a school where you're frightened of who's going to say what or do something, when you have to worry about that you can't learn anything."
