Over the last week in religion with Mrs L we have been watching a reality tv show called 'Educating Essex'. The show revolves around a school in Essex and the seriousness that bulluying can lead to.
It followes up on diferent teenagers and the situations they are faced with in school.
One girl who was head girl of her year was receiving threatning horrible text messages from an unknown number. They included texts saying that the person was able to see her and could see her sleeping. Gabby,the victim was very scared and upset and got the principal to investigate the situation. He tracked down the number and rang the people saying that he was aware of what was happening and he knows he they are. I turns out in the end the people behind the text messages were friends of Gabbys. They had gotten into a fight over her getting head girl and were pulling a "harmless prank". They discovered they would get a criminal record and could easily be reported to the police. This was a great example of how serious this was and how a "joke" can lead to so much more than it actually is..
There was also another boy called Sam who was being accused of bullying a boy called Dean. Deans mother and sister were called in to the principle and there was serious consequences for Sam. They all talked it over and they realise there was no need for the bulluying that was going on. The bully ,Sam had come to his senses.
Overall this programe really made me think about how others may feel in a certain situation and how serious bullying of any kind wheter it is verbal, physical or emotional really is. Thanks Mrs. L!
