People were staring at the girl. Bullying does not need to be physical. She left the school but was lucky enough to get into another school.

We have an obligation to those involved to leave bullying behind. Name and shame. Can there be a register like the one for sex offenders? Should there even be one? We must have progress. If children get away with bullying at national school, they will continue at second and third levels. We must nip it at the bud.
