     School bullying from the UK to Saverne.

             My English teacher asked our class to read an article about the bullying at school in the UK. This article was written the third of September so it was just the beginning of a new school year. So I went on the Mirror website to read it and I was really surprised that school bullying concerns eight out ten teenagers in the UK. In fact they are bullied over their look. It’s a physical bullying because they laugh about the spots of these students, about their clothes and their weight. I read that in the UK, teenagers are extremely image conscious, that could be the reason why they are bullied even by their friends ! Friends ?! Yes, I said FRIENDS because in this article it was written that a half of these teens were bullied by their own friends ! Funny friends, aren’t they ? Because of this bullying a lot of students live in fear, they are a bit disturbed and they don’t want to go to school. What shocked most was the fact that a lot of girls go on diets which are unnecessary and sometimes have health problems because they become skinny.

     

             This situation in France is very different, I think. In my school and in my former school, bullying wasn’t as important as in the UK. I’m a boy so it may be different but I don’t remember anyone bullying me. With my friends it is the same, they are my real friends so they won’t say anything bad about me. Sometimes when I’m with them we speak about he looks and sometimes we say ”Hey look at you, today you look like a farmer” or “ Did you loose your brush ?” but it’s just for fun. Usually, the person we speak about laughs and that’s it. Girls may not react in the same way, they don’t make fun with their looks. I think the image they give is more important that ours. This could explain why girls are more bullied. In my class, I have never heard about bullying so I think that isn’t an issue here in Saverne.

              I don’t understand those teens who are bullying their friends, but that doesn’t shock me the most. What shocks me most are those people have to live in fear, I don’t understand them. In their case, I would speak about this bullying to my parents or friends to tell them that they don’t find that funny. And excuse me if that sounds aggressive but if somebody were bullying me, I would punch him in the face.

     So, speak about it teens, a lot of people will help you !!!
