School bullying is a HUGE problem for our kids. 20% of children will experience school bullying some time.
South City Bulletin magazine interviewed me on how to STOP school bullying.
I shared my passion and expertise as an anti-bullying campaigner, author of STOP the Bully empowering novel for children, to help Kids live STRONG.
I too was a victim of school bullying. When I was a teacher I was bullied my parents at my school. I wrote Me and Her: A Memoir of Madness to raise awareness of how bullying can trigger mental illness.
South City Bulletin education journalist, Amanda Sheehan and editor Wendy Millgate asked me what strategies I recommend to STOP School Bullying. I shared how to change the behaviour of victims and bullies in schools, and break the bullying cycle.

totally agree. I really believe schools need to educate children at a very early age. Include it in the school curriculum, from prep to year 12 in secondary schools. I believe it will do children a great deal of good. I also believe it will go along way in helping to eradicate this terrible thing
