LET’S ALL RAISE OUR VOICES AGAINST BULLYING. A Project in both English and Greek by five 5th Grade students of the 14th Primary School in Drama and their teacher of English.

I can’t have a moment’s peace. Not even to eat my sandwich I can’t have a moment’s peace. Not even to eat my sandwich. I do not want to come to school any more. Better alone at home.

I have to face my fellow students who steal my things I have to face my fellow students who steal my things. I know that in my heart. But how will I find the strength to stop being afraid? HOW?

The colour of my skin may be dark but I still need friends The colour of my skin may be dark but I still need friends. Why don’t my fellow students want to play with me? Why do they mock me all the time?

Things at school get worse and worse Things at school get worse and worse. At first, there was just one girl mean to me. Now, there are three. Who’s next? What’s next?

I am so ashamed of myself I am so ashamed of myself. I know that my fellow student needs my help to face those bullies that harass her; but I am too afraid to do anything. I must talk to my parents. I will ask them to talk to our teacher.

Can’t she realise that we do not want her around us Can’t she realise that we do not want her around us? She can’t even speak right. We do not like her. And if she keeps coming near us, we will tell her to go away.

My wheel chair keeps me grounded. No-one wants to play with me My wheel chair keeps me grounded. No-one wants to play with me. They are nice to me only when our teacher is around.

I am tired of being pushed around all the time I am tired of being pushed around all the time. They call me “chicken” and I’ve come to believe that they may be right. I am so terribly afraid of those bullies!

Facebook has become a nightmare to me Facebook has become a nightmare to me. I will talk to my parents about it. They will know what to do. I need to be true to myself and stop being afraid.

I never helped other pupils when they were bullied I never helped other pupils when they were bullied. Now, I am mocked on the Internet and nobody is here to help me. What a fool I have been; thinking that I would never be bullied.

I can’t believe that my friend was capable of sending frightening, vicious and offensive e-mail messages to others. But it’s true. I’ve seen him with my own eyes. What shall I do?

Let’s all become a shield that will protect all pupils from bullies Let’s all become a shield that will protect all pupils from bullies. Let’s all be determined to speak our minds, defend and help each other.

Let’s all raise our voices and cry out: “NO”, “STOP”, “DON’T DO THIS”. We can do it all together. We can protect each other from bullies no matter who they are.
