Bully Victims Sue
Yesterday the Herald Sun reported that three victims of school bullying are suing the Education Department due to the loss of future wages they believe they will have as a result of being severely bullied at school.
According to Kidspot.com.au one in four Australian school children are affected by bullying, indicating that this is a very serious problem. While the victims in the Herald Sun story are at least hoping to get something positive out of their trauma, as a community we need to look at how we can prevent bullying and the associated mental health issues arising from it occurring to begin with.
Australia is already taking steps in the right direction with the establishment of a National Centre Against Bullying. Their website provides lots of helpful information for parents and children about bullying.
