Full Stop 2 Bullying !

The Parent's Page.
Parents can hurt so much when their beloved child is unhappy and frightened through being the victim of a bully.
The trust between parent and child must never be broken if you are to help.
Natural instinct is to fight back and protect your child but you must listen calmly, wait patiently and then re-assure your child that you will not do anything that they don't want.
We all want to rush and make things better but remember that your child is the victim not you.
Often the bullies themselves are victims off ill-treatment and/or lead unhappy, miserable lives.  They often know that their so-called 'friends' are with them out of fear,not because they want to be.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?

       1)         Find out what our children want us to do and guide them into                            trusting us to do what is going to make their lives better.
       2)         Find out the correct paths to follow.
                   For example - Visiting school - who to approach - rules & proper                         paths to follow.
       3)         Know the law that should be protecting our precious children.
       4)         Take the appropriate action to safeguard our children and know                       when to take drastic action should we fear for their safety.

The above points are the same for bullies and their victims, acknowledging and wanting to help shows you care and want to make a difference!

My Daughters Story.

    By Gemma (Founder) Mum.

My daughter Gemma has worked so hard to develop her ‘Full Stop 2 Bullying’ campaign.  She has been a victim of bullying, as I was myself at school and I remember feeling so useless when being fobbed off by ‘those who knew better’.
If I had known my legal rights as a parent I could have helped more -  I am sure!
Her little hand grasping mine tighter and tighter as we approached the school gate, her tears, her fear – but most of all her bravery to actually go through those school gates and face the inevitable hurt she knew she would face each day.
Then I would spend the whole day breaking my heart worrying until I could go and fetch her home.  I’d wait at the school gate and try and gauge what kind of day she had had by the look on her pretty little face and then wait for it to start all over again next morning.

No child should live this kind of life and if I knew then what I know now I’d have done anything possible to stop her suffering.
Faced today with the same problem I would follow all the advice available but in the end I would move her to a different school, if I thought she could not be protected in her present school, as was her right.

Children have committed suicide because they could see no way out after victimisation by bullies and I can only cry for the pain each of those parents suffer at the loss of their children.
It could happen to any of our children and perhaps part of the answer to this growing problem, is for us parents to get together and help each other and our children to live in a safe, happy environment.
Why did you hurt my child today?

Why did you hurt my child today?
Did he upset you so?
If not then why’d you cast those words
And strike that painful blow?

  
Can you not see the good in him?
Or maybe you don’t care.
Such words and fists can cause such pain
And hurt that he must wear.

  
The bruises heal, the scars will fade
But thoughts of you will stay
Within him for some time to come
With each new passing day.


Perhaps one day you’ll realise
The damage you can do
Or maybe you’ll become the one
Who’s hurt by others too.

  
I hope that you don’t have to feel
The fear that fills his sleep
Or find yourself in nightmares that
Are buried not so deep.


I cried for him today you know
Because I wasn’t there
To shield him from the pain you gave
A pain that we now share.

This poem was written by a lady about her son who is a victim of bullying.  The lady wrote this poem when her son was being treated in hospital
as a result of an assault due to bullying.
The lady was feeling emotional and scared....
this was just last week and is sadly happening in all of our schools,
in every part of the UK, in France, Italy, Germany - its a worldwide epidemic
that is breaking childrens and parents hearts and the rest of the family.
Lets put a Full Stop 2 Bullying and stop this torment.
Many thanks to the writer of the poem, our thoughts are with you all.
