Bullying

1. Were you bullied or are you currently being bullied at school? - Yes
2. If so, has it affected you in the long term? - Yes of course, confidence is a big issue and TiBB allows me to be myself without anybody physically tormenting me
3. Did you tell anyone about it at the time? - Everybody knew about it
4. If so, was anything done about it? - One time there was an incident on the playing field where about 15 people bundled me and I was hurt and I had to explain what happened and the teachers did something about it. When you 'snitch' or tell the teachers then you just feel silly because you don't want even MORE unneeded attention
5. Do you know anyone else who has been bullied? - Yeah, few guys and girls for appearances and people who thought guys were gay etc.
6. Have you ever intervened to stop bullying? - No, I've never needed to. I stuck up for few friends when people were talking behind their back
7. Would you ever intervene to stop it? - Yes of course I would, if a friend got in a fight I would be first to help. Especially if they were helpless and didn't deserve it
8. Were you ever a bully? - No
9. Do you think the schools do enough to tackle bullying? - It's too hard to combat it entirely, you'll always have kids who are too scared to even mention it because they'd get unwanted attention and make the situation worse
