At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. Filmed over the course of the 2009/2010 school year, Bully opens a window onto the pained and often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. It documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviours that defy “kids will be kids” clichés, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole. http://www.hillssip.com.au/article.php?newsNum=113 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 01:00:00 MIST http://www.hillssip.com.au/article.php?newsNum=110 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 MIST http://www.hillssip.com.au/article.php?newsNum=111 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 MIST http://www.hillssip.com.au/article.php?newsNum=112 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:00:00 MIST Living with Teenagers - Parent/Carer Information Series A series of seminars covering topics which include: • Relatiionships, • Risks and Resilience, • Positive Conversations with Teenagers; and • Strategties for Stress.
