What do you think of bullying?
*
Toby was a typical victim of bullying. This is his story.
“We moved house last year, so I had to go to a new school. In my class, there were three boys who were real bullies. Everybody was afraid of them. On my second day they came up to me after P.E. I had a new pair of trainers, which were a birthday present from my grandparents. At first, the boys were very nice to me and they said that they liked my trainers. Then their leader said, ‘I need some new trainers. I think I’ll have these.’ I tried to grab them back, but the other boys hit me. I told my parents that I lost my trainers.
A few days later, the boys asked me for some money. I gave it to them. Every week after that, they asked for something. I hated going to school, but they even reached me at home. They sent messages to my phone — things like: ‘We’ll see you tomorrow at break time. Don’t forget the money.’
Luckily, my mom saw one of these messages and I told her everything. The next day she went to the school to see the headmaster. He called the bullies into his office and he talked to some other kids in my class, too. In the end, the bullies were expelled from school.
Things have been OK since they left. I’m glad my mom found out about it. If you keep it to yourself, the bullies will just carry on.”
