What I’ve learnt


as a mother the first thing that I have noticed is that bullying—especially when it comes to young people (like pre-school, kindy) is that it’s all how the adults around the children see it.

And how sad is that....

To me bullying, especially mental bullying is that if what you are saying makes that person feel (or actually) cry then you are being mean, and if you can see the distress on the child’s face and you keep on taunting the person about the cry, then you are bullying—this to me is what you go one when you are a kid, because the older you get the easier you hold your face. Still, taunting the same person is mental bullying.

Am I wrong?
