Your thoughts on bullying
How I would stop bullying
"Adults should look out for bullying more"
"I would give every school money to make their ICT department better. If someone was being bullied over the network it could be seen straightaway"
"Known bullies should be separated"
"I would give communities more equipment for sports so no-one gets bullied for being overweight"
"I want to know how to be safe on the Internet"
"Talks should be given on how painful bullying is"
"The only effective way to help is by giving personal advice to young people to help with their problems"
"People should learn to apologise"
"Stopping bullying should start at home because children learn a lot of their behaviour and values from their parents"
"Stay in a group to avoid bullies"
"If you see someone being bullied, stand up for them"
"Anti-bullying techniques should be employed in the workplace"
"People who have been bullied should be encouraged to tell their communities about their experiences"
"People with disabilities or from minorities should not be treated differently"
"Introduce Peer Monitoring as a standard function in the school to build up relationships with bullies & victims"
"Ask the bullies to explain their actions, so that they understand the full repercussions and consequences"
"Find out why they are bullying and try to help them"
"The parents of the bullies and victims should sit down and discuss what's happening"
"Bring in parents of children who have committed suicide because of bullying and strongly make aware, the effect they have"
"Make initiatives which reward the reporting of bullying"
"Bullying should become a criminal offence"
"There should be more access to support for children"
"If you get caught for bullying you should have to pay a £20 fine to the victim. That would stop people from bullying."
"When the bully has been named posters should go up naming and shaming them."
"Anyone who is reported or seen to be bullying should be banned from community social gatherings and be allowed back when they have redeemed themselves."
I think it would be a good idea to bring back the National Service.
"I don’t think bullying can be stamped out, but it can be controlled and cut down."
"Lock everyone in a room and give them a task, and don’t let them out till it’s done. Team work is needed. The door can be opened when everyone’s happy."
"I would set up an experience for younger children to see what bullying feels like, then they might grow up being more aware of bullying."
