Bullies of any age in schools need stronger punishments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Every day children are to scared to go to school because of bullies, it’s getting so bad that children are taking their own lives as a way to escape it.no child should ever feel like this
Parents should be able to send their children to school believing that it is a safe place to learn and grow.
We as parents are taking a stand, we take our children to school believing that they are safe but bulling is a huge issue.

Just this week another boy has decided to take his own life because he was bullied.

We need to take stand with stronger procedures, a new law needs to be in place, the reason why bullying continues is because they know they can do it without any real consequences.

How many more innocent lives will be lost until Something is done, being bullied stays with you forever.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Punishments in schools are the responsibility of individual schools not the UK Parliament or Government.

Encourage schools to expell students who are bullying others.

Please note also, that we need a full name in order to publish petitions.
