chickenanne Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I completely agree that we need to act on these things. Turning a blind eye is not an option. In the past aduls would never have ignored /put up with the types of behaviour which now often go unchallenged. Some common sense/ care for your own safety is required, of course, but if everyone either acted on, or reported, incidents of that tye then they would become much less frequent.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 This thread has partly restored my faith in human beings. It's so good to know that there are so many pro-active people out there who will step in and do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great quote though isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Megan you sound like the sort of girl any mum would be proud to call a daughter. You did the right thing especially if the boy is known to cause trouble. This culture that it's OK to carry a knife has got to be quashed and it only can be if the perpetrators are found out and dealt with. You are a brave young lady and a credit to all teenagers that want to do the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well done Megan, you absolutely did the right thing. I shouldn't think the boy will discover it was you, the school won't disclose your name. More people need to take a stand against things like this. OH is always moaning at me for having a go at the neighbourhood kids, not for anything serious mind, but i don't see why we should put up with any form of anti-social behaviour. If it looks like the school isn't taking it seriously then i would nag the Head about it. Was the boy allowed into school on Friday, he should have been automatically suspended and the police should get involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
