I didn't really realise that bullying is such a theme in this book alongside suicide. I definitely want to read it.<br /><br />To an extent, I think everyone is bullied a little at some point. While I wouldn't say I was bullied at school, I did have those occasional times where friends would exclude me for no reason, but then a week or two later it'd be someone else's turn. I think the sad thing is that the fact it's so widespread should mean that kids can empathise with those who are being bullied, but I guess the instinct is more usually to join in or let it happen, because they don't want the bullies to turn their negative attentions to them. Sorry to hear you've had to put up with so much of it.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483030255023873716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352172002453207458.post-51916052452902573212010-11-16T22:56:52.333+00:002010-11-16T22:56:52.333+00:00Great review Caroline & thanks for sharing you...Great review Caroline & thanks for sharing your story. Bullying is a difficult subject to deal with buy it is an important one. I was bullied a lot when I was at school and ended up self harming, suicidal and on anti-depressants at just 14 and my experiences were far from the worst compared to what some of my friends were put through.<br /><br />The school took no action to help and some of the teachers actually seemed to encourage the bullying. A couple of examples include the time my teacher heard a gang of girls talking about beating me up as I walked to school and her way of dealing with it wasn't to confront them - it was to take me to one side and tell me to get my Mum to collect me from school! Another time when my friend ran away from home because she couldn't face going to school any more the teacher actually told the whole class what had happened and then laughed about it with the bullies in front of everyone!! Of course that only made matters worse and my friend ended up being put into a special school (that was attended my children who had been excluded from other schools for persistantly bullying other pupils!), hardly an ideal solution.<br /><br />I don't know what the solution is to stop bullying in schools, I'm not sure there is a difinitive answer but I hope that it is dealt with better now than it was when I was at school. I know I felt I had no one to turn to who would do anything to help and that is a difficult situation for anyone to be in. Hopefully the more bullying is discussed and kept out in the open as an issue the easier it will be for those who are suffering to ask for help. <br /><br />Having been bullied both physically and mentally I know that it is the mean comments that do the most damage long term and it took me a long time to accept myself and get my confidence back but for anyone out there who is suffering the most important thing I can say is that IT DOES GET BETTER. I know it doesn't feel like that at the time but it's true, find someone you can talk to - even if it's a helpline or a website where you can talk to people online. I wish there had been more like that available when I was younger but I'm grateful for anyone in the situation I was in that help is out there now. You have to remember that the one with the problem is the bully - it isn't your fault.<br /><br />Anyway, great post Caroline :o) Thanks to Emma for raising awareness of this issue, I really should have got organised & taken part myself!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491718306784046961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352172002453207458.post-24325280360991806352010-11-16T21:11:39.845+00:002010-11-16T21:11:39.845+00:00Thank you for sharing your personal experiences wi...Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us, that was very brave of you!Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352172002453207458.post-46571928756715596622010-11-16T19:36:14.269+00:002010-11-16T19:36:14.269+00:00Aww thank you ladies :D *blushing*
I really do thi...Aww thank you ladies :D *blushing*<br />I really do think that many people had it worse, but I thought I'd share that to show that it does get better!<br />I found the book really interesting to read and a very useful story for people being bullied (because, no, it doesn't "promote" suicide).Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270606510325274092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352172002453207458.post-10305149811466265652010-11-16T19:31:50.918+00:002010-11-16T19:31:50.918+00:00Thank you thank you thank you for sharing that per...Thank you thank you thank you for sharing that personal post with us.

Standi...First of all brilliant review, Caroline :)<br /><br />Standing up to bullying is so important. I admire you for telling your story and I'm sad to hear that you had such a hard time :(<br /><br />I've been so lucky and never experience bullying, I'm very grateful for that. I went to a school on the countryside, were everyone knew everyone(their family and siblings) and almost no one had high heels. <br /><br />Bullying is one of the things I fear most when our son starts school next year. I fear that he is going to be bullied or that he'll be bulling someone else (I'm not saying that I believe these things will happen but as a mother one cannot help but worry ;)). My cousin was being bullied and the parents of one of the worst bullies just denied that their daughter ever could do such a thing. Bullies also needs help, it does no one any good if the parents just close their eyes and denies that their child could do such a thing.<br /><br />To fight bullying I feel that it's very important that parents (and of course also the people working with the children) have their eyes open and have a good dialog/relationship with their children.Mari - Escape In A Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597584812785465678noreply@blogger.com
