“I cannot accept that this return to school is synonymous with ordeal”.
Emmanuel Macron had a message to pass on to all students in France who will return to school tomorrow.
To tell them of his sensitivity to a scourge that rots the lives of those who are victims of it: bullying at school.
"In the face of this, I saw many of you," he said.
We work with all of your teachers and all those who do what is necessary to help you every day.

The Head of State, who speaks to students in France in selfie mode, implores all victims to react to harassment.
Because solutions exist.
Staff are trained, he says.
A dedicated number, 3018, and not 3020 as Emmanuel Macron initially announced, is available.
This toll-free number, totally anonymous, allows you to listen and get advice on bullying at school.
It is accessible Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“Do not accept anything, the problem is on the side of those who insult you, continues Emmanuel Macron.
We will not give in,” he promises.
The Head of State is responsible for giving some advice to students who would be victims.
"You are not alone," he said.
The Head of State calls on them to talk about it with their parents, their comrades or even teachers.
Before concluding: “School is for learning, not for having an impossible life.
We won't let them do it anymore.
