BULLIED school kids will get to decide how their tormentors are punished, as part of a package of measures being unveiled today.
Ideas include letting victims choose whether yobs should get detention, extra homework or litter patrol duty.
Schools Secretary Ed Balls ordered action after a third of pupils aged 12 to 15 admitted being bullied via mobile phones, emails and the internet.
Leaflets and a short film will advise teachers, parents and pupils how to beat the huge rise in cyber-bullying.
There will also be an online campaign called Laugh at it and youre a part of it on teen websites.
And teachers will get support from older pupils acting as peer mentors.
