brief 3 bullied girl fights back

Walking down to the school gates was terrifying for Stephanie Lester at just 13years old she knew what was waiting around the corner the vicious five girls that have been bullying and tormenting this young girl. 'It started because I had a cool new bag and the girls were obviously jealous I remember them ripping my bag to pieces I had to tell my mum I lost it as I was so scared to tell her the truth.' says now 22year old Stephanie.

Millions of school children are bullied every year and the problem seems to be going on for years but things seem too get worse with now an increase in suicide. Now with children having excess to the internet there easier ways of bullying such as cyber bullying.

Stephanie Says the violence first started when she was walking down the stairs and one of the bullies pushed her down the stairs and pulled her skirt over her head the girls thought it was funny. 'They said if I told anyone they wouldn't believe me and they knew where I lived' she went on to say how the violence got worse 'they'd physical hit me and make bruises I had to hide from my parents. I couldn't understand why I was a target to them. They once locked me in a locker for a whole lesson; they'd throw stones at me when I walked home, rip my hair out and pinch me when the teachers weren't looking. '

Stephanie even tried to ask her mum too move schools 'I’d try making excuses that other schools were better and my teachers weren't teaching me probably. I never tried skipping school as I knew I wanted to do something with my life'

Now model Stephanie feels like she has achieved something with her life.

Last December modelled on a London catwalk for Marc Jacobs fashion range. 'i felt so proud up there I knew I’ beaten the bullies after that.

Stephanie still see some of the girls ' they never tried at school they just all work in supermarkets or on job seekers so I see them and I’m proud I carried on at school it was hard but now I’m better off in life than them.

it seems she now has her life in order and is a better person than these bullies ever will be this was a very emotional time but bullying will only continue.

Local building site waking up lazy students! -Brief2

Today at 7.33 an aggressive verbal attack broke out on onlooking building site workers as loud mouth students were woken .
An ongoing project for new student accommodation is taking place on Caledonia road right outside the current Caledonia Court.

It seem this morning after a heavy student night out in Hanley the students of Caledonia were not taking any more of the loud machinery and went over to take action on these hard working builders with alcohol and tiredness still in these lazy students system the young youths were aggressive and rude toward these hard working men shouting that they dont want them here and to f**k off .

Caledonia Court is situated on Caledonia road and currntly has around 82 students living in this acommodation its leased from foxhult until September 2015. Caledonia has kitchens and shower facilties are shared by up to 12students. It is the currently cheapest accommodation from Staffordshire university students and is named 'the ghetto' by other local students.

After speaking to the builders at 10.30am this morning they seemed friendly, kind and even managed too still have smiles on their faces.

One builder Joel has said for the past week he's had varies things thrown at him from second floor students from their windows.
He said he was walking past when he heard one student who does not want to be identifed shouting 'oi' and using verbal language toward him. Joel ignored the student and continued too walk but as he did the student start to urinate out of the window onto Joel .

Other students from Caledonia have a apologised on behalf of their fellow students and have try to reason with the builders they understand that the builders are only doing their job and don't agree of the way the other students are treating the builders one student Melissa says 'i'm not a part of this behaviour and do not agree with it i have told my friends not to act this way but i can't stop them they seem to be go over there every mornin now.'
She sounded honested and even said she likes the builders and has become close friend too one Elliot. After speaking to Melissa she agreed to let me into her room so i could take photos of the building site from her window.

These targeted builders will be working there for at least another few months lets hope this feud can come to an end and they can just get on with there jobs.
