Pegg to boldly tackle school bullies


25 January 2010

Simon Pegg has voiced his protest against school bullies.

The Star Trek funnyman has written a letter to his former Gloucester school, urging pupils who are being bullied to speak out against their treatment.

He wrote, "I think most people experience bullying at some point. It isn't just stealing lunch money. It can be mental or physical. It means using strength or power to intimidate someone weaker or in a weaker position than you. It's important to send the message out to those who bully and intimidate that their actions are unacceptable. I have complete disapproval towards bullying, but also, to some degree, pity. Bullies are weak and pathetic.

"If you don't (tell someone) it will simply continue. Be strong. You are not being a snitch, you are protecting yourself and others. If you're not sure who to speak to at school, speak to a parent or even a friend. The important thing is not to suffer in silence.”
