1. did you bully because you had issues yourself or because it was jsut fun/something to do to pass the time.
I had issues myself and bullying just helped make me deal with it.

2. at the time did you realise how much what you did could affect the person? did you realise what you were doing was actually bullying?
Yes I guess I knew it was bullying, but then I wanted to hurt the person as she hurt me.

3. would being suspended have stoped you, or would you have enjoyed the time off?
I almost got suspened for it but i was suspended every other week (near enough) anyway. Having time of just ment more sleep and more time doing things with my dad.

4. what might have stopped you?
Teachers involvement finally stopped me.

5. did your parents know? and if they did, how did they react?
dad said I should have hit the girl harder. Mum was disapointed.

6. where the teachers ever told? if so how did they react, and was it sucsessful/unsucsessful?
Once the situation climaxed and every girl in my year were standing behind me in the changing room, going 'fight fight fight' the teachers found out. The teachers tried to do alot to help like doing mediation between her and me as we shared alot of friends. Sadly it was unsucessful and we decided to keep away from each other.


7. did you conciously chose the person(s) you bullied, or did they do something that caused the kind of 'snowball' efect.
They irritated me and I snapped and it went from there.

8. if you did chose, why that person(s)
n/a
9. what form/forms of bullying did you use. i.e. physical/verbal/isolation/rumour spreading ect.
verbal, isolated and then finally physical.

10. where you bullied yourself before/afterwards?
before, during and afterwards. Although once I hit the girl alot of people who did bully me, stopped.

11. why did you stop bullying them?
I didn't feel that I needed too, I was going to get expelled from school if it carried on. I had my friends and she had hers and we kept away from each other. We did eventually sort it out and become really good mates but now we've drifted apart.
