Most of the time we are at school five days a week for about 6-7 hours. A school is basically a second home to us and many students. There are many great things about school and, many not so great things about school. Education, hanging with friends, school teams and much more are all great about school, but then comes the homework, the tests, and STRESS. Some people enjoy school but many don't including me.
A school is a safe and accepting community to be in for most people but for others, it's a living hell. I'm not talking about all the homework your get or the stress levels, I'm talking about bullying. Many don't have to face bullying but, know or may have seen bullying around their school. In my case, I have never faced bullying but I have seen bullying happen. It was in elementary school when my friend was bullied online, cyber bullying. We didn't know what to do so we kept it to ourselves. Later on, the bully stopped messaging my friend and it all it came to a complete stop.
All teachers know and heard of bullying but never actually had to do anything about it. Teachers don't really know what's going on behind closed doors or online of students that face bullying. But in Mary Ward, we don't have this problem. In Mary Ward, students have many ways to talk about their bullying situation if they have one. From friends to teachers and guidance counsellors, they can all help students find ways to stop bullying.
New services that can be provided at Mary Ward is an anti-bullying club or group. In this club students that face bullying inside or out of school can come and get help. This will help those that are too shy or scared to a teacher so a student can relate to them.
