NO MORE!

Greece is shocked by the loss of a beautiful young man. The student and teacher communities are in mourning and we are trying to find a way to come to terms with what has happened. I feel that especially teenagers are deeply affected by the suffering and the tragic ending of  Vaggelis’ life.

I am proud to realize that my students are sensitive and well-informed about the issue of bullying. I am very proud of them trying to show that they will remember him…. I am very proud because they found a way to show their support to any victim of bullying. I am optimistic that they will protect any peer they see being bullied in the future….. I have to be optimistic….

These photos were taken in our school yard on 20th March 2015. A day dedicated to acceptance and understanding!

The Greek word written with the school bags is the name of the young man that died: Vaggelis

The students hugged each other and wrote the words NO MORE.

No more bullying, no more hurting each other!
