Yes, big hugs to the girl who spoke up. It’s easy to be a bystander. And good for you on the follow-through.

Oh how awful! I know exactly what you mean sadly….great job standing up for Sophie. I think the school should have a policy that if an incident occurs it triggers a chain of urgent trainings on how to deal with bullying. A bullying awareness week or something! Hugs to Sophie and you.

Cheers for the kind child who spoke out.
