Nathan McCard

Name: Nathan McCard
Age: 18
Year of the Fix: 2017
Location: Lisburn, County Antrim
Campaign: To encourage young people who are being bullied to speak out

I started being bullied in primary school. When I went to secondary school it became physically abusive. 

 

They pushed me in the corridor, threw random things at me across the room. The bullying went on for five years and it impacted me a lot. 

 

One day I told a friend and he encouraged me to tell my parents. They involved the school and after a week or two the bullying stopped.

 

Our Fixers project is to encourage everybody who is being bullied to get help. If you get it sorted out as quickly as you can things will be so much better. 

Kurtis Daney and Ben Lewis helped me with this Fix. 

Marie Wright from Start 360 and Jamie Plant from Lisburn YMCA supported me with this Fix.
