My Story.... by Gemma, Campaign's founder.
'....My legs sting with the pain inflicted by the branch she had just used to beat me with. The names they called me....everyday....when will it stop....will it, stop.....
why me?....why?.....'
That was me just a few years ago. I myself was a victim of bullying. Everyday as I left for school I was afraid. The words they used, the punches they threw didn't hurt half as much as the cruel words! For years I was a victim, afraid to fight back, afraid to speak up.
Gone are the days where I allowed people to push me in front of cars, hit me, kick me and call me names. I decided I wanted to become a survivor of bullying and in doing so decided I would try and find out why people bully and how I, with the help of others could bring a 'Full Stop 2 Bullying'.
Everyone of us is a human be they a bully, victim or survivor. Let's all show our human side now and help each other - lets make bullying a thing of the past!
