MAKE BULLYING OF ALL FORMS AN OFFENCE! NO MATTER WHAT AGE AND WHAT FORM!

From a mother to every other parent I know… please check on your kids… please don’t under estimate their silence... please don’t pass any sort of change in behaviour off as “it’s the teenage phase”. Luckily enough I have the best relationship with my daughter- but things could be so different if I didn’t. 

Wether it be in school, online, physically, verbally or mentally- bullying is not ok! School policies are not water tight if incidents occur within school time and there are no deterrents outside of school either as it is deemed a waste of resources and funding to police it. 

Do you know who your children are talking to? Do you know what messages they receive? Do you actively police their phones? Above all else do you recognise where your child is at mentally? 

It makes me feel physically sick that children can be so vile these days. Messages I have seen sent to my daughter recently have made me question what sort of parents/ carers/ children are out there! 

I’ve watched her recieve videos telling her to kill herself because no one likes her- graphic videos of what to do might I add! … I’ve watched message after message come through calling her from a pig to a dog… I’ve watched her suffer panic attack after panic attack just at the thought of having to go to school and be surrounded by these vile individuals and it is not ok!!!

To have a child not feel safe to attend school because the system lets us down is heartbreaking also- because it’s jeopardising their education! 

So if I can ask one thing of any of you today- check on your kids… talk to them if they seem a little “off” don’t pass off their attitude as “being a teenager” because the chances are you’ll learn a thing or 2. 

I’ve started this petition because the next generation of us is being failed massively and it is not ok!
