This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Make any kind of bullying a criminal offence.
Nearly everyone has had a bad experience of being bullied.
Some suffered terribly - which unfortunately resulted as suicide.
And some carry on the tragic with them for life.
When will it stop?
Unfortunately never unless some serious action happens about it.
Lets make it a criminal offence
More details
Nearly every single person who was bullied and didn’t take their life now suffers from mental illness “We have sent a clear message to schools that bullying, for whatever reason, is unacceptable and should not be tolerated“
This is what the government says, and they put it in the hands of the police, which we all know it is really down to an individual who has power if they want to make a case out of it. I’m not sure they will
So please,if you’re serious about this then please sign this petition
