MORE ABOUT BULLYING

A lot of people say that there only seems to be non - disabled people bullying people with learning disabilities. In my experience that's not true. I had only been to to one main stream school and three special schools. I have found that you can be bullied whether you have a disability or not by either people with or without disabilities. I guess when you are a child, you don't understand right from wrong, it's hard to understand how others feel. For eg; people with disabilities should understand one an other's disability not pick on each other's disability, we must be aware of that. There needs to be more education to not to bully. The most common bullying is over race, beliefs disbelief's and choice. I think we all need to educate one another to understand and accepts one another. We are all human beings and we all have our own kind of feelings, why can't we respect that? Yes, when you have a disability, people should be educated to understand you in the easiest way as possible.
BULLYING DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN AT SCHOOL.
Whether you have a disability or not I would be interested to know whether or not you or people you know or knew people who were bullied people with and without a disability.
People used say school days are the best days of your life not in the case of being bullied.
A lot of people think that bullying just happens in school. People used to tell me that these people will change when they grow up. I have only seen one person who bullied me in school, I know she hasn't changed. Having said that with some people it's very hard to tell.
Bullying can happen in the workplace, college, streets, pubs ; any time, anyplace and anywhere. Years ago I think we were only knew about bullying schools by children but not by adults.
If you have a story about been bullied anywhere else years ago, that is another story I'd be interested to know about. So that you know that you aren't forced to send on your stories because I understand why you don't want to tell me or anyone else but I also understand why people may want to share them. You may well be an open person who wants to get things off your chest or you'd rather keep things private. Which ever I respect your wishes, I will keep things confidential, unless you say otherwise. That's my way of think, respecting people's wishes is apart of my job anyway.
WHY DO PEOPLE BULLY PEOPLE?
Some people may bully because they get bullied themselves, others have problems that make them angry enough to bullying and others are jealous of you. In some people's cases it could be all kinds of reasons, over nothing, someone just wants to be nasty and with other people it's just excuses to have it in for people.
