Stop bullying at school !
Monday, September 30th 2013
by Camille HUPPERT & Marine ALEXANDRE
I read an article taken from the Mirror, an English newspaper, about school bullying in the United Kingdom. It deals with the fact that lots of teenagers are bullied, mainly girls. They are so concerned about their appearance, that they decide to modify it. For example, they start a diet, (which is not good for their health). Besides, they are worried about some people trying to help them to take the right decisions. Some people set up a website, Beatbullying.com where teenagers can speak anonymously about their problems.
Is it the same issue at the “collèges” or “lycées” in France? I decided to get some information to compare the situation of school bullying in the United Kingdom and France.
First, there is the dress code: in England everybody is equal because they wear uniforms but in France we are allowed to wear what we want. Teenagers who don’t follow the fashion are criticized by the other boys and girls. Those wearing short clothes are also criticized. So, what can we wear when we are always judged by the others? Then some people make fun of the physical appearance when teenagers are too big or have spots. No wonder teenagers are not self confident, they go on a diet, become depressive.
In my view, it’s great to have created website where teenagers can explain their problems. But it would be better if teenagers weren’t so judgemental and if they were more respectful. This is one of the goals schools should have, as wellas teaching general knowledge.

Bulllied at School :
British VERSUS French teenagers
September the 30th 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.
-The original article hasn’t been approved but we didn’t have any other solutions, so please excuse us.

Welcome to school, welcome to hell!
-Bullying in the UK & in France-
On September 3rd, an article about bullying in British schools was published on
the Daily Mirror website. Amazingly I discovered that a quarter of British girls are picked on because of their looks at secondary school. There are indeed mainly girls, who suffer from jibes. Why? Because of their weight, spots or clothes! And even worse, a third of the taunts come from the victim’s friends! Did these so called “friends” just realize that it could be dangerous for their health because of uncontrolled diets, and generally for their way of life? Targeted people could stay alone with only negative thoughts. That’s why this article finally talked about BeatBullying, a website, where bullied teens can talk to someone and be helped in an anonymous way.
As a result, I wondered: and what about France? Teenagers are bullied too, particularly the 11-15 year-old people at the college. But I don’t tell you a sensational event! Listen to Indochine’s song if you want! Teens have always been judge throughd by
what they wear, what they love, what they say. As for the UK, weight and spots are two big concerns of all teenagers too. The main one is certainly clothes. I remember that at my college, people used to look at your style every morning and laughed at you with their friends if you didn't "conform". Besides, everybody who doesn’t fit in the “normal way of life of a teenager” is taunted. If you have better marks, if you have red hair or an extravagant style, be ready to be bullied! Unlike in the UK, girls and boys are picked on in the same way: mental harassment, fights, threats and so on.
As far as I’m concerned, I think teens can’t be themselves and it’s not acceptable. Why are some people allowed to criticize others? Who can judge what’s right and what’s wrong? Is there a “bullying code”? Moreover, I don’t think there are lots of means, used to reduce this cruelty in France. People don’t care about political men in black suits saying: “Bullying is not a good thing”. What do you do, to help teens? For example, in France, you must go to a swimming lesson. But, doesn’t it emphasize the differences between people? I don’t say people must abolish the differences. Of course not! But teens are harsher self-critics, and when you can ,at least,, decrease a reason of targeting, why don’t you try? Thinking that bullying can be deleted is only a sweet dream… Having someone ready to listen to your problems ,could already be a big step against the cruel side of humanity.
