Do we take bullying seriously?

A Kent family has fled to Norfolk after their disabled daughter was relentlessly bullied for two years by a neighbour. Mike and Janet Richardson from Deal say Jordan's life was horrendous, she was terrified to even leave the house.

Do the bullies win? Were you or someone in your family bullied? In your street, school or workplace? Did anyone take it seriously?

Are you living with a bully? What does that do to you? Do you make excuses for them?

We hear your stories.

Should schools be allowed to choose pupils on the grounds of faith?

Selective education is a common place here in Kent, not only with grammar schools but also our 200 faith schools.

In today's papers, the Roman Catholic Church has entered the debate, after it accused the oversubscribed Coloma Convent Girls' school in Croydon of "discriminating" against certain sections of the local community, such as single mums and immigrants.

Did you have to fib or exaggerate about how religious you are to get your child into what you thought was a good local school? Is it time to change things, should faith ever have a place in schools admissions?

We hear our stories, views and opinions.
