School Bullying

Are you at school?

We want to hear about your experience of bullying.

Photo of Damilola Taylor Many people who are not gay still get the abuse as if they were. This is NOT something you should just put up with. Damilola Taylor was only ten when he was being bullied like this. He was not gay, but one very serious attack was enough to leave him bleeding to death, too badly injured to call for help, and with only minutes to live.

Aurora has already heard from a few pupils in schools in Croydon.

Please use the Contact Us In Confidence page. This is a secure text link (so no-one can find out who you are, and there's no trace on your computer that you contacted us).

Please say which part of Croydon you are from, which school, who you are - or anything else you want to.

If you have information about someone who is being bullied for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered - or just uncertain - please let us know. There are some helpful services and helplines on the lgbt youth links page. And Aurora needs information about what's happening.

There have been lots and lots of incidents reported in Surrey schools - We need to hear from you to know what things are like in your school.

See the The Schools OUT Student Tool Kit.
