To an extent, I think that all children have to go through bullying at some point or another. Whether it's actually being a bully, a victim, or knowing someone in your school or a friend who is being bullied. The scary thing is that nowadays, for schoolchildren, as technology is becoming more and more popular so are new forms of bullying. You've got e-bullying (through emails normally, and that also counts for Instant message bullying, and people generally picking on you online). Then text-bullying, from which other sorts of phone bullying stem such as happy slapping etc. It's no longer simply the old-fashioned being picked on at school anymore. What's more, plenty of people can be involved in these new bullying forms - and in some cowardly cases, the bullies themselves can choose to remain anonymous!

I haven't personally been a victim of bullying. However saying that, I was always well aware of it, and as a result felt myself being over-sensitive at times, and cautious of what other people said to me, how they said it, and how it could be interpreted. Being honest, it ruined a lot of my schooldays because I felt constantly aware of others, and often wasn't just myself and didn't simply enjoy myself in the school days that are meant to be fun.
