Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Does anyone have any Alexandre Dumas books they don’t want anymore?
I absolutely love the stories but have only experienced them on screen. Especially The Three Musketeers. I’ve just binge watched the latest series for the second time in 2 months.
