Comments: I remember at my infant school in reception, 3 year 1's kept annoying me and threatening me by telling me of to the head for no reason and they were making things up.

Johnboy voted for Yes on Sunday 16 October 2011

Comments: Bullying should be a crime...in any form. I was bullied at school because I have Aspergers Syndrome, Dyspraxia, mild Dyslexia and mild ADHD.....the trouble was it wasn't just the other kids who bullied me, it was the teachers and the head-mistress as well!! I was punished when I couldn't sit down because it wasn't the right seat....they said they understood [when my mum & dad looked at the school before I went], but they didn't!!!!

Smallpengi voted for Yes on Tuesday 11 October 2011

Comments: I was bullyed for two years. The bully did it in a very suttle way by pretending to be friends, then starting the bullying. They took my best friend away from me, and I began to suffer from depression. They knew perfectly well that they caused my depression, but they started going to the head teacher about me being unhappy all the time, and I was the one getting in trouble. The bully never got in trouble, and now we have started in Secondary school she is still nasty, but I am getting my best friend back. I want bullying to be stopped because even now I am still unhappy and she completely changed my life in a BAD way. ~Hannah, 11

MarsBars voted for Yes on Friday 19 August 2011

Comments: Because bullies can wreck lives, and it's not fair for the victim to suffer, the bully should have to know how it feels, maybe they would think twice about it if it were a crime.

fishbeth voted for Yes on Thursday 4 August 2011

Comments: I think that it should be punisheable by the law because bullying can cause the victim lots of unease. The things that are done to the victim are worse than the punishment that the bully receives, so it would be fairer to punish them more.

Lukozade voted for No on Tuesday 5 April 2011

Comments: Bullying is serious, but bot serious enough to be a crime- people sometimes aren't nice to others and that can't be stopped. Also, the police can't arrest everyone who bullies people, as it would cost too much to send them to jail, and they can't catch everyone, so some people would get away with it.

Comments: Bullying should be made a crime as it is just as hurtful as any other crime

XantheB voted for Yes on Tuesday 23 November 2010

Comments: Yes, bullying should be a crime but it's sometimes hard to tell if someone is bullying or not because different people are sensitive and not sensitive. Some bullies don't target one person, they bully different people but do you consider that as bullying? I don't count it as bullying but I count the person as a bully. So if we made it law that bullying is a crime then, I agree, the people of the UK would be a lot happier but on the other hand, it would be very hard to catch every single bully and punish them! There will always be a baddie out there so is there really any point? I believe there is still point. Once I saw on the news that some students had had a school trip to prison to see what it was like, and in conclusion, all of them decided they didn't want to commit a crime when they are older. This would be a good idea for others too!

Comments: No. Way. I don't care how people commenting about it would help and stuff cause frankly it wouldn't. Yeah, its soooo gonna help if your bullying them back and not letting them see their parents for months. It is not right to put people our age into prison is it??? Prison is for BURGULARS and KILLERS and all the rest of the madhatters who do awful things. Imagine putting teenagers- in with them!?! Look, I'm not a bully siding with the rest of the bullies- in fact, I've been bullied before- I'm just thinking about their point of view. I'm really sorry about bullying other kids, but I'm just really stressed and bullied myself. This is one of the reasons people bully other people. Putting kids to prison is not right. Even if it's not prison, do they really deserve such a bad punishment???

Comments: Of course bullying should be a crime because bullys pick on you,beat you up and hurt your feelings everyday and sometimes it becomes so serious the victims are driven to suicide so the bully has made their victim end their own life which i would class as a crime. But i still think that a less serious type of bullying should be a crime to because the bully is making the victims life a pool of misery and hate.

I used to know a bully and the teacher told them why it was wrong and how they were hurting people and they stopped because the teacher said would you like to be bullied? so i don't think the people you bully do. now they're really nice and they would be very sad & angry if they were sent to jail for it and probabally do it more.

KLFC-U12 voted for Yes on Tuesday 26 January 2010

Comments: Yes because its hurting someone either verbally/physically and its still hurting somebody in one way or another and I dont think enough is done about bullying and I dont think the punishments are severe enough and I dont think people learn by it. So I think bullying should be a crime because something needs to be done about it and quick so people that are being bullied stop suffering. Also when people get bullied it also leads to bad cases of depression which results show.

hmstitanic voted for No on Wednesday 30 December 2009

Comments: yes it would stop bullying but if you told a bully of them and they got arrested they would bully you even more for 'grassing up' on them. Also with Sabrina Trusty's point what if the bully was only seven or six yr old. Anyway theres a limit of age to get arrested. So what if there underage? Then you cant lock them away. So thats why im voting no. There should be a lighter punishment for them. Say... You have to stick up for he person for the rest of there school days. Thats it from me. :)

Comments: Bullying can ruin peoples lives and stay with them for a long time. There are different levels of buulying but all bullying is seriously wrong.

googybear voted for Yes on Thursday 17 December 2009

Comments: i agree with Amber howells but If victims dont tell on bullies the bullies cant be stopped or arrested. however I think this should only apply to the ten years and older because younger than that is too young to make sure your actions are controlled

Nangmilly voted for No on Thursday 17 December 2009

Comments: Bullying shouldnt be a crime because I bet ALL of the first news readers have probably called someone names or bullied them. Sometimes children are just unaware of what they're doing, so, NO!

koolkatkk voted for Yes on Friday 11 December 2009

Comments: it definitely should be and if your under-aged you should be putin care, Ive been bullied on numerous occasions and it is really unfair on the (normally)innocent victim

bexiscool voted for Yes on Friday 11 December 2009

Comments: I have suffered from bullying for about four years now. I think the bullies would stop if they thought that they would get into serious trouble. Also their parents would take it more seriously. In the playground the parents tear up the letters home sent by the school saying it is all too petty. I get my glasses broken, pencils snapped in half, books torn almost every day. My crime? I like to learn and do well as school, I wear glasses, my mum is sick so I have to look after her and then dont have the fashion clothes they have. I am not nasty or bad, just different.
