Do you think that bullying is becoming a part of our social culture?

As the British population becomes more diverse in culture, faith and race, do you think that the issue of bullying will simply change in nature but not go away?

Why do so many victims of bullying contact outside helplines to discuss their problems?  Have your say!

There are most likely a number of reasons but I think the main ones are:

1. Victims are ashamed. The whole nature of bullying creates low self esteem and damaged self confidence.

2. Many people find it easier to confide in someone who does not know them. Someone unlikely to judge or make the situation any worse than it is, which is a fear of many victims.

3. There is a lack of understanding within education establishments. Schools are afraid of admitting a bullying problem, therefore are likely to ignore the problem when confronted with it. If a victim has tried to tell a teacher but not got anywhere, a helpline is often the next port of call.

Female Respondent - North of England

School bullying is such a difficult problem to discuss and disclose to people around you, because it only effects the individual and many people close to them may not be aware of the problem. School bullies should be removed from the school and sent rehabilation centres which are run under a strict military style regime.

Male Respondent - Wales     

I feel that people who suffer bullying sometimes become so depressed and desperate that they need to feel that there are people out there who will take them seriously.

Female Respondent - Central England

Because there are no systems in place within schools to get the help they need, it is easier to speak to an outsider.
