Bullying: My story

With Anti bullying week coming to a close I’ve had plenty of time this week to reflect on my own childhood experiences. I would say there have been two periods in my life where I have been bullied and one where without realising it, I was the bully.

My first day of school!

Skip the small talk.

I feel like I've been going through a massive period of change over the past few years. It seems as though over the past 5 years there has been nothing but change and all I've wanted to do was make it stop but recently I've realised that the only reason I was feeling so out of control of my life is because I saw change as a bad thing. I wasn't setting goals to improve myself, I was setting goals just to get me to the next bit of life. Find a house for second year, finish that assignment, pass second year, finish placement, write a dissertation, graduate... then what?
