I am talking about teachers bullying students and denying them an education, like what is happening to me, I demand my rights! My English teacher, who is a control freak with a rage control problem, and I had a huge confrontation the week before last and ever since she refuses to let me in the class and makes me go to ISS. I am not allowed back until my dad comes to school and he won't because he is too busy with work. I am being denied an education and am ready to sue with or without my dad's support. #1 Stunna - you are very suspicious.

my daughter is on the autistic spectrum, she attends a mainstream school and has just started juniors. we have had small problems since starting school but things haven't been quite right since a new teaching assistant started, she was employed specifically for my child. She is respected and liked by all school bodies or so it seems. however my daughter is quite unhappy, she complains that this lady shouts at her, doesn't help her as much as she should. my daughter struggles expressing herself so is unable to verbally explain how she feels however she is crying alot. i spoke to this lady just before the hols and expressed my concerns, she said she couldn't understand where all this is coming from, she cried and made herself look a victim to the headteacher. i don't want to keep going in with accusations here however i cannot and will not ignore my childs tears. please only genuine answers. thanks

I am a part-time volunteer for Childline's telephonic service that deals with children's issues and haven't undergone any formal training so far but of recent, I have received numerous calls from mostly minority kids (but also whites!) about the problem of bullying in classrooms, some of which borders on racism - this, at an age when kids don't even know what racism is. Typical instances of such bullying are: 1. Their lunchboxes being taken away forcibly 2. Name-calling and other forms of verbal abuse 3. Ignored in the playground and classroom activities by other "groups" - not necessarily based on racist prejudices, but there are always kids who feel left "out" 4. Threats of physical violence Most of these kids (8-12 year old) are almost on the verge of tears when they come on line and I really don't know how to counsel them. I mostly advise them to 1)talk to their teachers in private, 2)befriend the "bullies" and 3)hit "back" within "limits" I need more ideas! Thanks

I have worked in many schools with many different age groups and will be a teacher myself in a couple of years. I won't tolerate bullies in my classroom but I know a few teachers who do, what are your views?

I've searched, but they were all geared towards parents and teachers dealing with bullying in the classroom, the children themselves or adult bullying in the work-place. I'd like a book that addresses the after-math and offers resolution.

This will be used for my school, our classroom is supposed to decorate our classroom door the theme is anti-bullying we will have to have a phrase or motto and a drawing or picture. Will you please be serious about this! Thanx for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to be a victim of bullying. I haven't been bullied for over a year now. I've had conflicts, but no hardcore bullying. I've realized how much healthier, happier, and better I am. I have been looking at my past, and I have noticed how a LOT of problems were caused by bullying, and how I rarely have any problems anymore. I went to a private school from k-4 (worst decision my parents made). Then went to public for 5th, didn't get bullied, but I was left out a lot. Then in sixth grade, I got bullied a little, but made peace. In 7th grade was when my problems started. I got bullied more, and I got scared. I didn't want to go to school, hated my life. Then in 8th grade, I got bullied a LOT. By at least half the classroom at once sometimes. I got messed with by a bunch of different people. It was then that I just...snapped. I was really weird, got really perverted, I started acting out. (Plus, a lot more shit was going on in my life) Continued in add. details. Yes there is a question But then summer hit, and I tweaked out a LOT (homicidal, stole without reason, started vandalizing shit, serious thoughts of killing my family, destroyed a lot of what I owned, I hated everybody, acted REALLY weird, hated my life, I NEVER went anywhere without a knife, and I would use it without question) Then highschool hit, and I was violent, and would fight at the drop of the hat, I got into a fight the first week of school, got into another fight a few weeks after. Since I became so violent (among other things) I stopped getting picked on. I still had weird quirks, I still brought my knife with me, I tried to get expelled, I acted out. But since I stopped getting bullied, I became a lot more stable, and throughout the year, I became more normal, got friends, got a life, found passions, stopped acting out, started loving life. And over the summer, and now in my sophomore year, I am perfectly content with my life. But my question? What are other common mental effects of bullying?

As some one who was bullied till the second year at high school, I know what it feels like to dread arriving at school. To feel the absolute misery of spending breaks and lunch wandering round alone, avoiding certain students. It wasn't character builiding. A nightmare. I had to wait till I grew another foot taller before it stopped. That it's still allowed to go on today unchecked, and is only highlighted when some poor kid (or even their mother as was recently the case!) tops themself, is a sad indictment. Some (not all!) parents seem to be alright with knowing its happening; as long as its not their kid getting bullied. Or worse, if their child is the bully. I believe children who bully others should be removed from the mainstream classroom. Placed in a trouble makers division (along with disruptors) under stricter teachers. Serve detention, and be monitored far more closely. And further bullying should be classed as criminal. Disciplined, then if it continues, prosecuted. Whats a pentagram? Where do you draw the line? Where violence is concerned (and most schools have cctv), I draw the line under every 12 yr old who has hung themself because they can't get help, and the education board has been in denial. Why not take the bully out of the circle, untill they can stop the disruptive abusive behaviour? We need more discipline, and where violence is concerned, proper punishment. It amounts to abh.
