Bullying in the Media


Bullying is clearly a form of bad behaviour. It has become a major concern for children in schools. In 2005, BBC started a campaign with David Beckham a well known footballer; he said "Beat Bullying has generated an overwhelming response from young people who have said 'enough is enough'. Bullying isn't always a physical thing, but can also is mental. It can also last over a long period of time in certain places, such as school. Many adults still have strong memories of being bullied in their childhood, as it may have affected their atmosphere and school life. It is good that the media has promoted campaigns like these as it raises awareness to parents and victims. Bullying will never stop but at least children know that there is support for them, which will stop them from being depressed or even worse.

  2. This is an informative blog and it is obviously very relevant because bullying is happening constantly around the world. Maybe you could have added a story into your blog about somebody who had a bad experience. The link provides a story of a girl who was bullied and ties in with the blog very well.
