14.05.2022 SBS insight has approached SKSS to be part of the next program on 20th March. What we are seeking is young people who have experienced bullying and the outcomes either positive ( ie the school or someone/something helped or negative. Now as people may be aware I’d never impose this on anybody but if you are a parent or carer and you and your young person would like to be part of this please either respond here or pm. I can tell you what it involves. I was very resistant but i...n the current climate if we can raise understanding of how it is different for our young people we can possibly help a young person to realise there are many things to live for. I am so saddened by our current climate that I think this is one way we can value add by hearing our youth voices. Please share to any family/ community members who you think might be willing to be involved. Young old inbetween all welcome. See more
