"Bullying is an issue which can affect any one of us, regardless of age, background, gender, sexuality, race, disability or religion. It can happen for many reasons and is often stupid and cruel and can take many forms.
"The reach of technology means it can feel unrelenting, leaving the victim feeling attacked, powerless and isolated. For young people in particular, bullying can have a profoundly damaging and long-lasting affect.
"It is important that we recognize that bullying is not just confined to the playground or classroom and it does not only affect children and young people. It exists all around us, in peoples' homes, in the workplace and in their wider communities… It is our collective responsibility to be alert and to be ready to challenge the behavior we see around us…and put a stop to bullying."
