Self explanatory
During anti-bullying week, one school tried a new solution.
The bullies were put in the gym with anonymous world heavyweight boxer -------------- where they stayed until 8 pm. They came out vowing never to bully anyone ever again.
Said Jason Blackburn, who received many bruises and a broken arm: “It is an experience I will never forget as long as I live.” |

Worth raising Josie.

Put a bully in the ring one to one with someone of his own age and size and let the rest of the class watch his attitude change. My husband said it was very effective. |

I think my answer would have solved the problem. ha ha Seriously, though, it is a really really dreadful thing. I had to leave the school where I went and go on a bus three miles to another school because I couldn't bear it. |
