Today marks the first International Day Against Violence and Bullying in Schools, an initiative led by Unesco aiming to ensure fear and violence is eliminated from schools. 

One in three students have been bullied in the past month, making it the most prevalent form of violence in schools, with one in 10 students cyberbullied, according to Unesco.  

Are you a parent and your child has been bullied? What did you do.... Did you tell the school, where they helpful?  

Or where you bullied as a child and as a result it has had an effect on your life?

Andrea was joined by many listeners on the show.
