Bulllied at School :

British VERSUS French teenagers

September the 30^th 2013

             We based our article on an article taken from www.mirror.com which deals with the fact that teenagers from the United Kingdom are often bullied at school. Indeed,  approximately 30% of the British teenagers  are often victims of bullying. It is not thinkable that the culprits of these bullyings are the friends of the victims,... Ironic, isn’t it?

 Spots, acne, weight are the name given to the weapons designated to beat the poor victims! Girls are said to be the worst bullies, they always judge their friends’ looks, but the boys are more bullied psychologically because of the puberty that attacks  the teenagers.

  Here are a few figures: 50% of the girls in the UK admitted they went on a diet when they were 14-18 years old, in France, it’s nearly the same and 1/3 teens who knew a bully victim were unsure how to help.

         In France, people are mostly bullied at the collège, between 11-16 years old. Prejudices are present in all the minds of teenagers, they don’t dare to think differently, they are like a flock of  sheep: they follow a trendy movement or an ideological one.

 Maybe, one of the solutions is to wear uniforms (and masks?) to hide the identity of people and preserve their integrity, create  unity and  links between pupils.

 It was Romain, Vincent and Gabriel, reporters for Lycée Leclerc.
