I'm shocked, this is something I'd never expected to find.
I was reading tweets from some charities this morning and Bully Free Zone (@BFZonline) asked if there was any other charity apart from them that did direct support for victims of bullying. so I thought that I'd have a look for any kind of bullying support in the Tadley area.
I found nothing.
How can this be? Bullying is a major problem no matter where you go, no matter what age you are and no matter what walk of life you come from. I cannot believe that there is no issues with bullying so there is nowhere that can help.
As I have said before I have been bullied, and when I was in school Childline had just started and I'd never heard of the NSPCC (although I think they were around in the 80s). It seems it is just as bad now, even with all these big anti-bullying charities out there. How canit be that there are big organizations but nowhere that is grass roots to help pick up the pieces? and by that I don't just mean the people who are bullied, but also the bullies (after all a lot of the time they need help themselves...if they have the help perhaps they would stop bullying or not even do it in the first place!).
I really don't know what to say, how can it be like this?
