act any differently?

support? How could any of these people have been more supportive?
- Do you think any of the characters are stereotypes? Why do you think
that stereotyping happens? Is it wrong to create stereotypes?

and advice? Name at least 6 people, places or organistions that would
be able to help.

system treats young people differently to adults. Can you give 3 examples
of this.
- How do you think a bully should be dealt with? Is bullying a crime? Can
bullying behaviour ever be excused?
- Find out if your school has an anti-bullying policy. What does it say? Do
you agree with it? Would you change it?
- You have been appointed as the student spokesperson for your school year.
Your immediate task is to develop and promote an anti-bullying policy.
How would you go about raising awareness of the issues? How would you ensure
that everyone in your year is given the opportunity to contribute towards
the policy?
What types of activities could students get involved in to help ensure that
everyone understands the issues e.g. poster campaign?
