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.

Died twice but live today, hear the moving story...

Pauline from Kaukapakapa

Hear the moving story of how Tienie lost his life and his arm when ammunition exploded behind him whilst on compulsory military service in South Africa.
Until then Tienie had not believed in ‘near death experiences’, but he describes looking down at his body, seeing everything blown away, and thinking “this can’t be happening.”
This was a truely life changing experience for Tienie, and the point where his faith became real.
Hear his harrowing experience this coming Sunday,
