Watching CinN DIY big build with Nick Knowles makes me wonder why there is so much need for 'safe spaces' for girls and women
. Is the UK so fractured that girls have no where to go? What about school, are they so big that any bullying or isolation goes un-detected.
In a school of 450 children from 11-15, our Head knew every child as well as their background: having taught the parents/grandparents! I think peer groups were less likely to be bullies ........ because most came from similar family dynamics with parents on farm or factory work. Also there wasn't as much to buy then, little TV advertising - now, it's 24/7 insisting that we all need to buy far more than we require.
There seems to be more children caring for parents - what's that about
to me, that's a form of abuse.
