David's List
Learning Through Action was due to visit David's primary school with a behaviour project ("You're OK, I'm OK!").
Before the visit, the head teacher asked a group of nine and ten-year-olds to list what they thought was bullying.
Most children managed a couple of examples; half-a-dozen of David's peers managed four or five examples.
Here is a transcript of David's List:
- Punch them
- Call them names
- Call their parents names
- Kick them
- Throw stones at them
- Threaten them
- Smash their windows
- Tell lies about them
- Take their friends off them
- Don't let them play
- Hit them after school
- Steal their toys
- Tell people to beat them up
- Trick them
- Force them to do something dangerous
- Make fun of their colour
- Make fun if their handicapped
- Make fun of their language
- Taunt them
- Embarrass them
- Call them names because their poor
- Tease them because their parents split up
- Tease them because of their religion

David's name has been changed to protect his identity.
