'Gossips' respond to Megan Gale's cafe tweets | Herald Sun
If someone hurts you in any way, make it clear, politely of course, that you won't accept that kind of treatment," she said.
"I completely understand that I will not always be [everyone's] cup of tea and not appeal to everyone and I'm totally fine with that.
"Although with that said ... I still don't see the need for people to be hateful and negative, especially women hating on other women."
Gale hopes she changed the way her two critics approach ridicule in the future.
"I think they were pretty shocked when they saw me ... I was laughing about it though," she said.
"It's just strange that for some reason we seem far more quick to judge and be negative, rather than be positive and encouraging and support one another.

Hundreds march against bullies
A Facebook campaign launched by a 13-year-old bullying victim has resulted in a march of support attended by hundreds Saturday in Sorel-Tracy.
Maxime Collard, a student at Polyvalente Bernard-Gariepy, reportedly thought about committing suicide because of the bullying he had to endure. But instead, with the support of his mother and school officials, he organized an anti-bullying campaign at his school and created a Facebook page demanding that he and other victims be left alone. Within 24 hours the page had attracted more than 400 friends and hundreds of supportive comments.
On Saturday, hundreds took to the streets in support of Collard’s campaign, including Quebec Education minister Line Beauchamp.

Call for a anti-bullying/violence national forum
Rosslyn Noonan: School bullying reveals gap in natural justice - Opinion - NZ Herald News
Prime Minister John Key has called for a "national conversation" on how to reduce bullying in our schools. Political leadership is welcome on an issue that is complex and too often dismissed as unimportant and, at any rate, insoluble.
A generation of students who live online as much as in real life have not hesitated to post scratchy recordings of vicious assaults.
Each clip becomes a reminder that something has gone terribly wrong in the lives of both victim and bully.
I wish our Prime Minister would call for a National Conversation too sign petition

Bullied flood victim Blake Rice flees hometown after attack | News.com.au
The boy lost his mother and brother and instead of being surrounded with friends he is surrounded with bullies aged 13 to 22 years that had also threatened to murder his family and shoot up his house.
There is something really wrong with them, they do not have empathy?
They will be abusers and criminals and we are not doing anything about it.
How many more cases are there, that we do not know because the victim is not famous.
Youth violence is increasing and if we do not take action now , we will have more gangs and violence in our schools and streets, it will not be only Blake or Kate suffering but our families, friends and neigbours.
Our present solutions do not seem to have great results, I call for a National Forum were citizens concerned (ex: Teachers, Students,Government, Police, Sports Clubs, Defence Forces, Media, etc) will be involved to discuss innovative ways to solve this growing problem.
If we do not take preventative measures, inevitably we will end up with unsafe streets and schools.
In the end we will all suffer with our lack of action.
