What the petition asks

Bullying- some school's have excellent policies for it where as some don't.
Bullying is becoming more viral on the internet and social networks.
Although they may get punished somehow for this do they actually realise what they are doing to that person mentally?
Educating children in schools the effects bullying has on a person's mental health and how it will effect their future.
When you are young you don't realise what you are doing you just think your the cool hard kid wanting everyone's attention, therefor not thinking about what you are doing to that person.
So making it part of a weekly lesson can help children understand that bullying will effect people in later life and also effect their schooling and education.
