‘Yellow Belly!’

He never quite understood what other children were saying to him, he belly wasn’t yellow, just beige, like everyone else at school.

‘It means you are a coward,’ his friend said, sensing his confusion.

He didn’t like fighting the bully, chose to walk away instead. His mum said to ignore it when he was being called names.

‘I’m not a coward,’ he said, punching the bully.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.

  1. Good for him! My brother got the cane at school for decking a bully, not knowing he was a haemophiliac (which is why the bully got away with so much for so long). My grandfather who had taught my brother how to box because he was being bullied, marched up to the school and took the headmaster to task. The bully didn’t bully anyone else after that though.

    1. I was bullied at school, could never fight back. Apart from one day, when I think I had enough. It wasn’t even the bully, and a friend. It was all over something silly, but we had a fight over it. There was more respect for me after that. My husband, when he was at school was the muscle for kids who couldn’t protect themselves.
