What a world we live in now. I found this article really concerning for my Great Grandchildren. I just have to hope they are sensible enough to avoid it, but peer pressure is so great together with social media. |

How shocking Ann! Schools are like fortresses to get into now so will it be sniffer dogs at the gates next to pick up the scent of drugs, maybe with the addition of metal detectors to pick up concealed knives? I'm glad I went to school when I did as I think I would be afraid to go to school nowadays. |

It is worrying that, I think, they target the young ones ready to feel 'important' and easily led. probably 12/13 year olds. And if not as you say, it will be reliant on the other children telling staff and parents so they will then get bullied that way. |

Yes the younger ones would feel intimidated by the older ones as well and not want to be seen as cowardly with potential bullying as you say. |
