SARAH'S STORY - Marilyn Monroe was a size 14!
 

So they go and see a teacher and.....

Joanne has been suspended for three days for bullying Sarah, Kirstie, Mel and Kelly.

Her mother and father have been asked to come to the school to discuss her behaviour.

Because the school thinks she has problems or worries she hasn't told anyone about (like she's scared about about her dad hitting her mum) Joanne has to see a counsellor.

Joanne has to write an apology to Sarah (previously she had to write them to Kelly and Mel).

Because the school is trying to stop Joanne bullying the police have let her off with a warning about sending Mel threatening text messages.

Sarah sees Miss Lamley every week, and more often if she wants to, to check she's okay.

Sarah has been given a ‘buddy', an older girl she can sit with at lunch time and talk over things if she wants to.

In a month's time Sarah is going to become a buddy herself to a younger girl. Terry and Jamie had to write to Sarah apologising for stealing her lunch, and paying her back the money.

The whole year group had two assemblies about name-calling, especially about weight, and also about standing by and doing nothing when people are getting bullied. The second assembly was organised by the school council.
