Rejected petition Bullying should be a criminal offence
More details
All around the United Kingdom there are children being bullied because of who they are, how they act, who they are fiends with and their family background... Having a younger brother who is majorly depressed due to bullying at his school the subject of bullying really gets me going. I know what it's like to be bullied, it's the worst thing for school children to have to deal with, but I also know what it's like to bully someone else: Not satisfying. I wish that bullying would be illegal in the UK due to the amount of suicides that have occurred, my brother also speaks of suicide. Bullying WILL be illegal, it's only a matter of time. Thank you for your support.
