Increasing awareness at my school, help?


Question Posted Monday October 13 2008, 10:27 pm

17/f


For my entire life I have been subjected to harassment from my peers. Fortunately, this ridicule has given me confidence - I am a leader, not a follower or a victim. I am in my final year of high school and my peers seem to be out of control when it comes to trying to bring one another down. I have recently been at the centre of the problems, with people constantly harassing myself and my friends.

I would like to make an awareness group, to take a stand against the insecure, immature people who think it is alright to do horrible things to each other. I have decided to make a facebook group; facebook is an appropriate medium because most of the harassment occurs through it.

I am not afraid of receiving even more criticism over this. Do you have any suggestions on how to spread the word or to make my group more effective? It needs to be a reminder that such behaviour is unacceptable. If you or someone you know has ever tried to raise awareness for a controversial issue, how did you manage the complications? I am mostly looking for general advice and tips to make this work. Thanks in advance!

Your fellow advicenator,
emilyy

you should invite some people you know to join and maybe post that they should invite others if they like the group. i think it is a great idea but some people may not think so because they dont see the bullying as you have. maybe people could post stories (without names) of things that have happened to show others what goes on. i agree that bullying online especailly is out of control at many schools and think it is brave of you to take a stand
