- It’s nice to have comfy sofas and drinking lots of coffee with digestives.
- Good social interactions between the different people there.
- I like having the title of Peer Mentor
What I think makes a good Peer Mentor is…
- Kindness
- Confidence
- A good speaker
To me, bullying is…
- Not the nicest thing in the world though it can teach people life lessons/skills like confidence.
- Sometimes a cycle, bullies might get bullied themselves or have other reasons behind their bullying.
To stop bullying, we can…
- Ask them nicely to stop.

To me, bullying is…
- Bad because if they knew what the person was going through they might not bully, they would understand them better.
- Something that happens maybe because of their background and could be them taking their anger out on others.
To stop bullying, we can…
- Have a room where someone who is a bully can be educated about the causes and effect of it.
- Have mediation where the bully and the victim can have a chat and try increase empathy to stop it repeating.
- Anti-bullying coffee mornings maybe fortnightly, a safe place for people to come and have a chat.
