Trigger warning cause this is uncomfortable. #Exclusions
Boy violently assaults girl at school, is just moved class nothing happens.
For a while I stay in school ( I was in middle of my own abuse court case) but message was school isn't safe.
Due to not taking it seriously getting the victim help or excluding & supporting the perpetrator, means they fail to pick up the fact the boy had been seriously abused by a teacher, or girl had developed ptsd.
Means girl tries to kill herself, boy causes more trouble. Teacher goes scot free for 3 years. My friends are victim of his. We all left school early.
In the end it needed a helpline it was that many kids.
Thread:#LGBTHM21 For Clarification: I protested at school in 1996-1998 at section 28.Watched the #LGBTQ community in my school bullied within a inch of their lives. Was told at meeting wasn't schools role to manage & I'd grow out if it.
It's been 25 years bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/articβ¦
I didn't ever grow out of it. It was repealed 5 years later When I was 21!!
So thank you to the #LGBTQ community groups across the NW that got many of us through that era, including @GLYSSwarrington for me. Today I'm a teacher, and appalled we ever had it! #LGBTHM21
I am however very proud to as a #bisexual be raising a very confident #pansexual daughter. Who knows nothing of ever feeling bad about who she chooses to love or be with, just thinks that's normal and people are different, get over it β€π #LGBTHM21
Sensitive thread for those easily upset. But important to me on accepting abuse of any kind in schools without real consequences.
Terrfying to write so go easy on me... but here is my experience..
I disclosed my #CSA in school. Back then there was zero support & it was all over school by lunchtime.
I was back in class after talking to social services & police. My parents was devastated and coped badly back then.
During the following months of terrible bullying, two teachers were a godsend at a time I had no adults left to go to. I made friends with a slightly younger year 8 , who disclosed abuse to me, I encouraged them to speak out. I was insistent..
