Charlie Wilson has joined the call after a family member who had been bullied for years became violent.

Ms Field said there needed to be more support services for people, especially children, who were being bullied.

"Bully is not just in schools, bullying is in homes, it's in families," Ms Field said.

"People who are being bullied turn to drugs and alcohol in order to avoid it. How many people these days using ice were bullied?"

Mr Wilson said there needed to be something in place at schools that would prevent bullying, rather than action being taken after a student had been bullied.

However, Ms Field said bullying was often something that went unnoticed.

"How many kids are suffering without someone knowing? 90 per cent of parents do what they can with what they've got, but bullying at school is often something that parents don't know about," she said.

Ms Field said when an egg and a potato were put in a pot of boiling water, one went hard and one went soft, which was how bullying affected people.

She said she was standing up for the people who were unable to do so themselves.
