Tots to Teens: Advice on dealing with bullying from Dublin City University

Plus: foster a lifelong love of reading, recycle your batteries, and look at the achievements of Black and bi-racial Irish people

Laura Woods is calling on schools and students across Ireland to become battery recycling champions as part of the WEEE Ireland Schools Battery Recycling Competition. She is joined by Isabelle Khumnariang age 10 (l), Molly Farrelly age 9, Eve Geoghegan age 10, and Abigail Craven age 9 from Scoil Naomh Padraig, who collected the equivalent of 20,600 AA batteries to win in their category.

RESEARCH carried out by the Anti-Bullying Centre at Dublin City University shows that 22.4% of primary and 11.8% of post-primary students experience it at some stage.

Parents can find it difficult to support their children through such experiences, which is why the national mental health charity Turn2Me has launched a support group.
