Bullying and Harrasement at the Railway station

Watch the video  NO LONGER AVAILABLE 2021

The best time of the day

In groups discuss:

What happened here? What could have happened? 

 Emma is about to jump on the track to fetch her headphones just as a fast train is about to pass. She may be too upset to look for trains and she hasn’t heard a train approaching. Chris – who just bullied her – ends up saving her life.

Bullying and harassing others can put them in danger by alienating and isolating them. Even an un-thoughtful act can put others in real danger.
