Bullying is not a rare occurrence, it happens frequently and often. It isn’t always understood, for it isn’t always having your lunch money stolen, or being pushed into lockers. It isn’t always just your enemies who can be bullies, but it can also be the people that you call your friends. 

We don’t know everything about bullying, but the one thing we do know is that it would be good if it were eradicated.  

This week is anti-bullying week and to raise awareness, the Anti-Bullying Alliance have teamed up with Andy Day, CBeebies presenter, to share photos of teachers, students and more, wearing their boldest and oddest socks in a bid to spread the message of individuality and ultimately, help prevent bullying. 

Below are a few of our favourite odd socks that we’ve seen so far:
