\"\"Students of the Ebenezer Seventh Day Adventist Primary school staged a march on Friday as part a strategy to tackle the problem of bullying.<\/p>\n

The march started on the school’s compound in Goodwill, up Federation Drive onto Lindo ParK, down the link road onto Hillsborough Street.<\/p>\n

Organizers say the event was organized to sensitize students and the public on the issue of bullying, which is a growing problem in Dominica.<\/p>\n

Bullying occurs when a person or group repeatedly tries to harm someone who is weaker or who they think is weaker. Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse \u2013 emotional, verbal, and physical.<\/p>\n

During the march students shouted “No to bullying at SDA,” “Up with Jesus, down with bullying,” and “Don’t be a bully, be a friend.”<\/p>\n

Teachers and students think the messages sent should have a positive impact on the entire community. They also hope that the whole of Dominica will embrace and support these messages.<\/p>\n
