Mark actually came with the idea, he said he was inspired by his own personal experiences of bullying when he was younger.
Mark said: 'I know at first hand how the impact of being bullied as a teenager can quite literally last a lifetime and I thought that if we could involve well-known ISPCC ambassadors perhaps people will think twice about bullying or indeed allowing bullying to happen. Everyone involved believes strongly that the message that emanates from each shot is a simple one. Bullying and abuse, whether verbal, physical or emotional, is unacceptable in today's society.'
He will be on at 10.15am talking about the campaign this morning, you can listen HERE. And he will be on TodayFM at 5.30PM this evening!

yay!! go mark. this will help so much if people see he is against bulling then maybe, even if it doesn't stop the bullies, more people will speak up and stand up for classmates,coworkers,etc.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 girls 2 of them are a victim of bullying in school, we had no help of school to help them in anyway to make it stop... it only got worse when we told school what was going on...my girl have scars you can't see but you know that they are there...they don't trust anybody anymore...bullying characters you for life!!
