Serious Bullying


This is Tom Daley, a fourteen year old British Olympic swimmer, and is gearing up for the 2010 Olympics. It seems since his return from the Olympics he has been experiencing serious bullying to the point of him not wanting to go to school. This is so sad. My heart goes out for him ... i know how some people will just shrug their shoulders and say "Stick and stones may hurt my bones but words will never hurt me .." kind of thinking. But this can be really heavy stuff for the party being bullied ... this is the world he is in and believe me it can be tough.

I have not been bullied when i was younger, nor did i bully anyone either ... but i know the damage it can do. I hope he gets over this and with the strength in numbers i hope bullying in school stops.
