So what about tonight's episode? I think maybe Ric should have a chat with Morag over Dom. She could give him some legal advice and if Dom knows she is involved maybe that would put the wind up him?

Bullying is so bad and it is ironic that Ric is now getting bullied considering what he was like when he first arrived in the Bay.

How typical though that Dom is the bosses nephew.

I know what it is like to be bullied - I was bullied at school and I also suffered sexual harrasement bullying at work.

I am glad they are tackling this actually.

As for other parts, I don't know who I feel sorry for Mattie or Belle, and as for Mattie hitting Belle....

Also Lucas - he needs a really good slap to bring him back into line

I was bullied at school as well, Sharon. It is horrible isnt it. Im glad they are dealing with this subject on Home and Away though.

It seems to me that this is one step further than bullying, what Dom is doing seems to be criminal.

Yes, it is nasty Jez. Mine was carried for quite a while. The one at school anway.

Yep, me too, I am really pleased they are tackling this issue, I just hope they bring out a positive outcome to give people hope and encouragement to speak out.

And yes, Sooty, what Dom in now doing is criminal, he is causing harm to Ric, so in some ways I think he should bring in Morag to help him.

It does make you wonder why Dom is doing this? It is suggested that a bully is created bescause he/she too is being bullied themselves.

Yes they do often say that bullies only do it because they have been bullied themselves. Im not sure if I agree. Some might but some also just do it because they enjoy making someone else miserable.

errm, I think you are right when you say they just bully people as they enjoy it, though I do think there is something in the statement that they do it because they too are being bullied, it makes them feel in control as they are not when they are being bullied.
