Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

This Sunday afternoon at 2.00pm the Browns Bay Creative Keyboard Club meets at the East Coast Bays Family Centre, 45 Anzac Road (behind St. Cuthberts Church). The first half has Club members playing either their keyboard or the Clavinova piano, then there is a tea break and the second half has either senior Club members or a guest artist playing - this Sunday we have Rob and Barbara Powell playing together on the keyboard and the piano - they both have been playing for many years. Do come along and enjoy the music and friendship - new members are always welcome. The fee is $8.00 for visitors and members $5.00. There is a raffle ($2.00 a ticket) and you will be welcomed at the desk by Philippa.
