A group of parents gathered at Charles Dickens Primary School yesterday morning. They claim their children are being bullied by other pupils and they are angry at the way the school is dealing with it. They want newly-appointed headteacher Craig Duncan, to leave. Liz Sweeney, 25, from Wingfield Street, has a four-year-old, Shamus. She said: ‘My son has been bullied since the day he started. I went to the head. He said if it doesn’t happen every day it’s not bullying. Rachel Restall, 35, from Tottenham Road, took her two children out of the school just a couple of weeks into the new term. Dylan, nine, and Shannon, eight, have been moved to Arundel Court Primary. Rachel said: ‘It’s been going for two years but it’s getting worse. ‘Since he’s taken over as headteacher it’s become atrocious. He doesn’t listen to anybody.’ But Mr Duncan said an investigation has now been launched at the school. He said: ‘We are very concerned to hear about issues parents have expressed about bullying at the school. ‘We are therefore now working with the council who have commissioned an independent investigation to look further into the issues raised as soon as possible.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;42545955]What a bucket of anuses.[/QUOTE] That's a pretty original insult I have to admit.
I used to get bullied a lot, and if I ever told a teacher, they'd just say "suck it up." Most teachers don't seem to care about bullying at all.
[QUOTE=Jrose14;42547078]I used to get bullied a lot, and if I ever told a teacher, they'd just say "suck it up."

And I did learn to deal with it. And I can honestly say that I am a better person for it.
there's definitely a time and place for children to learn to grow thick skin but school is not the place. these bullied kids grow up with seriously crippling mental disorders and in some cases drive them to suicide, you can't honestly say that's "just a part of school". no one should be subjected to that. [editline]16th October 2013[/editline] everything in moderation of course, schools shouldn't be prisons just because a select few students are causing havoc.
Children can be pretty shitty sometimes, and it's not much of a help when the school officials either refuse to do anything, or just turn their head to it. Personally, my take on it is that some schools (Not all of them) do need to work on how they approach bullying, but ignorance to the problem isn't going to solve it from either side. They should look into the actual issue itself, rather than just pushing the problem away, or giving it to the police to deal with. Ruining a kid's record over a childish incident isn't the way to go. They should get both involved parties to sit the fuck down at a table, discuss the problem, and find a way to make sure it won't happen again. I was bullied for the entirety of my school career so far, and I'm still getting shoved around, or pushed down the stairs occasionally. I don't report it or anything because I know that the people who run the system are too ignorant to deal with it. Anyways, There really should be better policies put in place for bullying/harassment. A child's emotional well being should not be afflicted in the process of trying to get an education. Poor tactics for dealing with harassment both on my end, and on the school's end has created some problems in my communication skills, as well as many like myself. At certain times I am afraid to speak, mostly due to the fear that my words will bring harassment and possibly getting my head shoved in a toilet upon me. Bullying/harassment will exist as long as schools exist, but when it gets to the point where it effects the development of a child into a healthy young adult, shit needs to be done about it. This is probably highly opinionated, as it is based on my experience and from what happens in my local area. Nationally, or internationally even, the situation could be much, much different. Feel free to dumb this if you think this was a waste of your time /rant

I think that`s where it stops being mere bullying, becomes aggravated assault, and even attempted murder isn`t too much of a stretch.

The first week of junior high this popular kid was doing something that was pissing me off so I yelled to him "fuck off cunt". He asked me "What did you say?" I told him "Are you deaf?" he responded with "whatever". The rest of the school year I didn't have any friends, strange huh.
My experience with bullying: -Get bullied -Staff turns blind eye -Slap someone lightly on the cheek as a joke and accidentally set off chronic nosebleed -Suspended I just learned that school faculty are usually shit and just dealt with it.
