Bullying
Have you been bullied? At school, at home, at work? It seems to be accepted; a part of life which we are told is good for us. It isn't. Bullying has a crippling effect on the victim.

Prejudice
Inspired by the fight that some peole have had for justice, from their employer, or a public body, I wrote this to show how disgusted I am at the blatant and unchallenged bullying and prejudice that goes on in the workplace, as well as the vital services that support and protect us. When our politicians and Authorities are allowed to let their prejudices affect their duty to the public, society, itself, suffers. We cannot allow this behaviour to continue. Whose responsibility is it and what responsibility do we, the public, have? Full Article

Straight To The Point
I didn't really want much out of life. Most important to me, though, was to be accepted and loved by just one man.
