'What goes around comes around'

All this follows from the highly successful tour of a show designed to tackle the many aspects of bullying in society, 'What goes around comes around'. The play followed the story of Tom, a boy who is on the verge of being excluded from school for good if he doesn't stop his anti-social and bullying behaviour. As the show progressed it becomes clear that Tom and his mother were suffering from domestic violence at the hands of the father. "It's about breaking cycles" We all follow social patterns we are familiar with. The play highlighted that a cycle of violence began with Tom's grandfather hitting his grandmother; who in turn hit her daughter. The daughter herself thought domestic violence natural and married an abusive husband. This all contributed to creating a culture of violence in Tom's home.

The message being that children often bully others at school because they are victims of bullying at home. Commissioned by Health Schools Wolverhampton, the play was developed to demonstrate ways of copying with domestic violence crimes and bullying in schools. It covered the principles of "Restorative Justice" and "Zap Assertiveness Training" techniques; which are aimed at young people aged 9–15 who have been bullied and want to learn effective ways to be assertive. |
