Bullying in schools

Hello Everyone,
at my school, in Citizenship, we have had to come up with a campaign. My groups campaign is Stopping Bullying In Schools.

At first, the angle we took on the campaign was plainly stopping bullying in schools and how it is happening. We started this off and found this difficult to research because we had to find out about people who disagree with the aims of our campaign. Well, there was a bit of a problem, how could anybody be against anti-bullying ?

So, with this in mind, our teacher decides to try and help us by leading us down a different path and make us take a different angle on this campaign. The way we started to go with it was that our campaign would try and get teachers and students to work together to beat bullying. This seems like a good idea because if you think about it, students alone can't stop bullying without an authority figure, likewise with teachers, they can't stop bullying without the students input. 

The people who disagreed would simply say that teachers are responsible for stopping bullying not the students. They would say that a lot of the students don't speak up because they are scared that the bullies might turn on them to but we have to try and stop this because with all the teen suicides, it is really getting out of hand. 

With all the research that we had made, we had to write up an essay which was a 3 hour exam. We still haven't got our marks yet but I am quite confident about my essay.

Now, the start of the campaign. We have to use social networking sites to campaign and this is part of it. Along with my twitter page: @CourtenaySGray
There is a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/117166231777717/
On any one of those please show your support towards our campaign.

See you all in my next blog post :)
