buffie Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Has anyone heard the JCB song? I love it. It has such a fab story behind it and if any chldren on the forum have been bullied then remember this. Luke is the guy singing the song and he wrote it about his chidhood and how he hated school and he used to feel safe and happy being with his dad on his JCB. Luke has grown up and may be no 1 this Christmas and now, his JCB driving dad, is his manager. Listen out for it and it's such a lovely positive story for this time of year. I was bullied and it touches my heart!! BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'll have to listen out for it - Lauren is having bullying problems at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Poor thing, it's so cruel and makes me very . She'll have the last laugh though as what goes around comes around. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Exactly, Buffie, and thanks for mentioning the song, I'll listen out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'll listen out for it and get Rosie to listen too. She went through a period of bullying, and was quite sensitive about it, but she's fine now and although she minds when people are cruel (she has an over-developed sense of fairness), she is confident enough to let them get on with it; I say if they are true friends, they always come back to you.

Popcorn Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I've heard lots about it , but not heard it yet! I was bullied at school something rotten. Red hair and freckles I used to get a regular bruise somewhere on my body from one particular girl who was older and bigger than me. When Friends Reunited first started, I found the bully on there and in her notes it said she had 'two beautiful boys who she loved dearly' I wrote to her saying that she probably wouldn't remember me, but that I would never forget her, and that I hoped her children never had to suffer from someone like their own mummy who regularly hit and taunted other children. I never did hear back from her....... But you are right. What goes around , comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I can't get the link to play I'll have another try later. I'm quite interested to hear it, son has had some bullying problems over the last 6 months or so, quite nasty when it all kicks off, then it dies down for a while, then something sparks his tormentors off again. All very silly, but disconcerting for him and frustrating for me. In the main though he seems to be handling it quite well, all things considered. It's scary though just how common the bullying experience is. I posted a thread about son's problems back in the summer when I was tearing my hair out and in dire need of a good old RANT, and I was amazed at how many people had been or were in the same situation. No way is bullying being eradicated from our schools, no matter what school policy documents might say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yes Kate A I was thinking of you when I posted this. I just think it may show life beyond the bullies and that you can be bullied but still have a wonderful future! BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks for the enquiry Kate & Buffie . He's coping a lot better I think. In year 9 his school have streamed them all in preparation for SATS & GCSE work and that's taken him out of their range during school time. The bus home was always his biggest problem, but he's got round that by travelling home by a different bus route- quite complicated, involves 3 changes, but he finds it worthwhile just to avoid them. With him out of their radar they forget him for ages, but every so often launch a suprise attack if they come upon him in a corridor or canteen etc. He seems to be managing though- at first a lot of it was taunts about his sister or his refusal to smoke, but I've told him that there's no need to leap to Imy's defence (she's at a different school anyway) and he doesn't want to smoke because of his fixation with sport & fitness, so he's ignoring most of it and trying to let it wash over him. Not always easy though, poor lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 It is difficult. Deep deep deep deep down you know that you are right and that the bullies obviously just have nothing better to do and no real sense of self worth, but it is hard to remind yourselves of that when you are being bullied!! Good for him though in doing his best to ignore them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
