BULLYING- HOW TO MAKE THE PROFESSIONALS LISTEN TO YOU AND TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY

FIRSTLY, -MAKE SURE THAT YOU DOCUMENT EVERYTHING WITH TIME DATE PERSONS NAME YOU SPOKE TO ETC
KEEP ANY COPIES OF ANY MEDICAL/POLICE/SCHOOL DOCUMENTS AND MAKE SURE YOU PHOTOGRAPH ANY INJURIES DAMAGES TO PROPERTY ETC AGAIN SO YOU HAVE CONCRETE PROOF.
KEEP ALL TEXT /EMAIL/MAIL/PHONE MESSAGES FROM THE BULLY AS EVIDENCE
ALSO GATHER INFORMATION LIKE WITNESSES WHO MAY HAVE SEEN/HEARD ANYTHING
CHECK WITH OTHER PARENTS IN YOUR CHILDS CLASS TO SEE IF THEIR CHILD HAS BEEN BULLIED BY THE SAME PERSON.
ALWAYS BE POLITE TO WHOM EVER YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH EVEN IF YOU ARE SO ANGRY YOU WANT TO GIVE THEM A TONGUE LASHING- MY ADVICE IS DONT!!
ALSO DONT APPROACH THE BULLY OR THEIR FAMILY DIRECTLY AS IT COULD CAUSE YOU PROBLEMS LATER AS THEY MAY TRY TO ACCUSE YOU OF THE SAME THING OR MAKE THE BULLYING WORSE,
GIVE THE SCHOOL/LAW ENFORCEMENT ONE WEEK ONLY TO ACT AND GET BACK TO YOU NO LONGER.
IF NOT HAPPY WITH THEM THEN POLITELY SPEAK TO THEIR SUPERVISORS
MAKE SURE THAT ANY WITNESS STATEMENTS ARE IN THE FORM OF A STATUTORY DECLARATION AS THESE CAN BE USED AS LEGAL PROOF IN COURT IN NEEDED
FINALLY IF THE BULLYING IS VIOLENT REMOVE YOUR CHILD FROM THE SCHOOL UNTIL THE BEHAVIOUR IS DEALT WITH FOR YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY.

I HOPE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS OF SOME HELP AND IF YOU NEED FURTHER ADVICE THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME

SOME CONSEQUENCES OF BULLYING
LOW SELF ESTEEM
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR
VIOLENCE TOWARDS OTHERS
SELF HARM
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE
DEPRESSION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SUICIDE.
BECOMING A BULLY YOURSELF
CRUELTY TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE AND ANIMALS

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MANY CONSEQUENCES OF BULLYING. THE WORST AND MOST HEART BREAKING CONSEQUENCE OF ALL IS WHEN THE VICTIM SIMPLY FEELS THEY HAVE NO HOPE LEFT AND SIMPLY GIVES UP AND TAKES THEIR LIFE VIA SUICIDE.THE COMPLETE DEVASTATION THEY LIVE BEHIND IS INCURABLE DEVASTATING AND HEARTBREAKING.

I HAVE A LITTLE BOY WHO A LOT OF YOU KNOW HERE AS SEAN.
TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT HE HAS AUSTISM/ASPERGERS SYNDROME. HE HAS OTHER VERY SERIOUS AND AT TIMES LIFE THREATENING MEDICAL CONDTIONS. HE IS DOING REASONABLT WELL, BTU WHEN HE WAS A VICTIM OF CRUEL SADISTIC BULLYING AT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS HE USED TO GO TO HE BECAME DEPRESSED SUICIDAL AND AFTER HE SELF HARMED BECAUSE HE WAS SO DESPERATE FOR FRIENDS I HAD TO REMOVE HIM FROM THE SCHOOL, AS THE SCHOOL BLAMED HIM EVERY TIME AND REFUSED POINT BLANK TO HELP HIM.M THE FINAL STRAW WAS WHEN HE WAS TOLD BY A GROUP OF CLASS MATES THAT IF HE CUT HIMSELF WITH A BOX CUTTER THEY WOULD BE HIS FRIENDS. MY SON CUT HIMSELF AND THEY LEFT HIM BLEEDING -(HE HAS A BLOOD CLOTTING DISORDER) AND LUCKILY HE WAS FOUND IN TIME. HE WAS VERY ANGRY CONFUSED AND VIOLENT FOR A LONG TIME AFTERWARDS AND STILL STRUGGLES TO TRUST PEOPLE. HE IS DOING MUCH BETTER NOW BUT IS VERY BADLY EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY SCARRED AS A RESULT OF THIS. I HOPE THAT AFTER READING THIS IF YOU ARE A WITNESS TO ANY BULLYING WHETHER YOU BE A CHILD ADULT TEENAGER OT ADULT THAT YOU WILL STEP UP AND HELP AND PROTECT ANYONE YOU SEE BEING BULLIED. TO MY WAY OF THINKING IF YOU SEE A PERSON BEING BULLIED AND YOU DO NOTHING YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE BULLY. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BULLIED REGUARDLESS OF THEIR RACE RELIGION BELIEFS APPEARACE SEXUALITY CHOICES. IF EVERYONE WAS HONEST WITH THEMSELVES THEY WOULD WANT OTBE TREATED FAIRLY AND KINDLY AND TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO THEY ARE. IN MY OPINION PEOPLE WHO BULLY OTHERS ARE COWARDS,SADISTIC AND CRUEL.

NOW LETS TAKE A REAL QUICK GLANCE AT BULLYING, AND ITS MANY FORMS IT CAN TAKE. IT CAN BE PHYSICAL,IT CAN BE EMOTIONAL,IT CAN BE VERBAL,OR IT CAN BE PSYCHOLOGICAL. WE SEE ON A REGULAR OCCURRENCE EVERYTHING FROM GANGS ATTACKING GAY TEENS TO PARENTS UNDER MINDING THEIR CHILD'S SELF ESTEEM AND SELF WORTH.

PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS AND SADDEST CASES IS THAT OF MATTHEW SHEPARD. THIS IS A HEART BREAKING AND TRUE STORY. ONE NIGHT AT A BAR, MATTHEW WAS ALONE AND TWO MEN HE THOUGHT WERE GAY MEN , OFFERED HIM A RIDE HOME.MATTHEW NEVER MADE IT HOME. HE WAS FOUND TIED TO A FENCE BY HIS SHOE LACES BARELY HANGING ON TO LIFE. THEY HAD BEATEN HIM BRUTALLY AND LEFT HIM TO DIE. HE WAS TAKEN TO A NEARBY HOSPITAL WHERE HE WOULD LATER DIE. THOSE VICIOUS MEN ARE NON IN PRISON. AND THERE IS NOW A NEW LAW IN THE UNITED STATES NAMED IN HIS HONOR. IT NOW ALLOWS PROSECUTORS TO PUNISH HATE DRIVEN CRIMES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.
