6th March: National Day against Bullying in Greece



My students' comments:
Keep with you the positive memories of the day; not the negative ones.




My students' comments:
  • Being different is an advantage. It's wrong to push these people to the fringes of society.
  • You shouldn't tease children who look different. You should support them and help them feel like everybody else.
