Bullying - L8R Youngers 2 – pressure from bullies

[Sara]

It is week two of Shanice's first term at secondary school. Her mum wants her to concentrate and do well. Shanice is pressured by Lauren into fooling around and being the centre of attention in class. Is this compatible with being seen to be conscientious with her work? Being friends with Lauren may mean abandoning her friend Julie to Lauren's bullying. We know Shanice has done her homework, but Lauren doesn't want her to hand it in. This is Shanice's story and was first shown in the Learning Zone on BBC in January 2012 as part of the second series of L8R Youngers.
