Bullying-the Childs View Lean La Fontaine
- Bullying hotlines-The majority of calls are made by children talking about their own problems with bullying. A small amount of the callers are of friends of the bullying victims reporting their issues, or from parents with concerns about their children being victims.
- Where does the bullying take place-The main atmosphere for bullying to take place is in schools. It can take place in school grounds and the commute to and from school. This means that the child is feeling unsafe where ever they are, which can have a huge effect on the way they function.
- Duration-It doesn't have to be a long period of time for bullying to effect someone. It could be as short as a day that someone could become a victim, it all depends on the severity of the bullying. However if someone is being slightly teased and picked on over a long period of time, although it may only be slight, it will still build up stress and anger in the victim which is just as damaging.

This information was helpful because it has provided me with lots of useful statistics, and it has taught me about different aspects of bullying.

- Their aim is to eradicate bullying to create a safe and secure environment for everyone. They want to raise awareness on bullying and help people understand and acknowledge the effects it has on people.
- They want to develop an environment where everyone sees bullying as unacceptable and people are treated equally
- They want to ensure that we all know the correct way to deal with bullying so that we can all help to put a stop to it once and for all
I found this information useful because it talks about the different ways people are trying to put an end to bullying, and it gives you tips on how to deal with the situations.

- A young boy called Thomas Thompson was driven to committing suicide because he was relentlessly bullied by a group of boys in his school. His Headmaster said that the school had only one report of him being bullied, and this was at a bus stop outside school by people from another school. He said other than that they had no idea of any bullying going on in the school as they were never told anything else and they didn't ever see evidence of bullying.
- After this story hit the papers, reports of numerous other young people committing suicide due to constant and persistent bullying from other kids started flooding in.

ReplyDeleteYour information is relevant, but you could have a look at getting another cOuple of research sources and summarizing them .You need to summarize the information from your questionnaire as you have not included this at all, explaining what is better, primary or secondary research, and qualitative or quantitative data. You also need to make sure you have gotten the names and titles of all sources, along with years etc.
There is no treatment on your blog so I cannot give you any feedback; remember examples of what will happen in your documentary. It needs to be detailed so that I can really understand what the idea is, add some examples of the things you want to be in your documentary and what it will look/sound like.
