Ginna, I have read your paper about bullying in schools. I agree with most of what you said in it from your personal experience as a CWS. What you suggested can be done by parents and teachers seem very appropriate. My school days were not the happiest days of my life as I grew up in an environment where people with disabilities - including stuttering were are still are often a subject of ridicule. That is why we have emparked here in Cameroon in a battle to make our children understand that people with disabilities including stuttering in the first place should be treated fairl - not teased or bullied etc. That is a hard struggle that we are involved in but gradually we shall succeed and make Cameroon and the world as a whole a better place for people who stutter. Thanks for sharing your experiences with others. I hope they can learn a lot from it. Joseph
