The Scenic Drive's Joe Mann shared his daughter's emotional story about being bullied at school.
"My daughter is being bullied at school. Two boys in her class bullied her about her appearance," Joe says.
"They teased her that she needs to be in a 'special school'.
"She took a packet of feta cheese to school - and they told others that she is doing drugs.
"It came to a point where she made excuses to skip school.
"I went to school and they told me that she had a headache. When I arrived she ran up to me, hugged me, and started crying.
"It crushed her."
