Tapescript:
Teacher: Bullying? Yes, I can tell you about bullying.
In recent years, teachers and parents have become more concerned about the problem of bullying. Bullying happens when one pupil (or a group) threatens and sometimes physically attacks a younger, weaker, quieter or more timid pupil. This type of behaviour is now considered a serious offence and articles have been published in the national press about the troubling effect that bullying can have on young people. The victim of bullying can suffer psychologically and the school can suffer too. It is also obviously very worrying for parents. Persistent bullying of other pupils can lead to the bully being excluded. Exclusion is the worst possible punishment in a British school!
