On the fight against bullying in the UK

Modern teenagers express their attitude to life in different ways: some keep a diary, some have frank conversations with friends, but there are some guys who speak out through comics who invent and draw themselves. There are a lot of kids among my students who create comics. They show them to me, and sometimes I can draw an idea of what is happening in a child's life right now. Sometimes children, commenting on a comic book, say that their characters are a collective image, and sometimes they admit that they are themselves. The comic book heroine Lia Katayeva (11 years old) is a girl named Tina, who has a younger sister Olya. Leah also has a younger sister, and she would like to be like her heroine Tina, a brave and bright girl. Tina and Olya have a very good relationship. So I chose for the preview a picture of Tina letting her little sister do her hair. This cute scene captures the overall spirit of Leah's comics. They have no aggression at all, but they convey the emotions of the characters very well. However, almost all teenagers face violence and bullying from peers. Even if they don't get bullied themselves at school, they often witness these situations. I've chosen several Leah comics about school bullying to be published on our website. If this topic appears in children's comics, it means that they have experienced bullying at school. I liked that Lia herself offered children one of the possible ways out of the bullying situation, namely: children can seek help or moral support from their older siblings, adults whom the child trusts.

Many children are abused in their own families. This can be emotional and physical abuse. Many parents want the best for their children, but they understand goodness as violence, abuse, and depreciation. The article is devoted to how parents try to make their children succeed and break children. Domestic violence and domestic abuse are very common phenomena.

While everything is more or less clear with physical violence, everything is not so simple with emotional/psychological violence, as it is quite difficult to identify and even harder to prove.

How to part painlessly with toxic people. How to break up with someone you can't be together with.
