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.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.

May Evening at Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga

Carolyn from Thames

Join us at Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga at 5.30pm on Wednesday 29th May for our next Evening at the Museum. Caroline Thomas will take us into the fascinating life and work of Coromandel-born Reo Franklin Fortune.
Despite professional differences and personality clashes with friends and colleagues, Reo Fortune was regarded as the foremost anthropologist of his era. His contribution to anthropology is reflected in his major publications and journal articles that illustrate the diversity and complexity of his fieldwork.
