All About Bullying

The best way seems to be to get the whole school community involved. Bullying is learned from others. This may be anyone in the school community. Teachers, parents, trade workers, clergy, officials as well as children. A whole school bullying policy needs to be clear and dynamic with the community

Exactly, it's not just affecting the children but also we as adults can be a victim too and bullying leads to depression which is one of the no. 1 cause of death. This is sad but we need to start this from ourselves and from inside our homes.. teaching kids the right value.
100% agree bullying is a huge issue.Vanz:
Bullying is something we should take seriously. Bullying is not just happening somewhere but also cyber bullying is one of the biggest issue we have in our society right now and it's affecting large percent of teenagers.
And sadly adults too can be either a victim or bully. Or even both.
Bullying affects everyone.

Yes, the policy needs to be clear to the children, just as some children can learn bullying from the misguided few, the other children can also learn how to respond to bullying from the community. Kinda wish the school has such talks for parents/child to attend together.

SINGAPORE: A 44-year-old man was jailed for seven weeks on Monday (Apr 29) for pushing a 10-year-old boy, causing a fracture in his ribs.
According to the man's defence lawyer, the boy had been bullying his son for more than two years.
Tan Chin Tai pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt to the boy, who was then in Primary 4, at a school that cannot be identified in order to protect the victim's identity.
The court heard that Tan had approached the boy after the boy's lesson on Jul 7, 2017.
They were heading towards the school gate when Tan grabbed the handle of the boy's bag, moving him backwards. Tan then grabbed the boy's chest and pushed him to a nearby rubbish shed, pushing him onto the wall and scolding him.
He said: \"Just because you are bigger in size, you can bully others.\" He also added that \"since you can bully my son, I can bully you\"
The boy felt pain in his chest and went to hospital, where an X-ray revealed that he sustained a small fracture in one of his ribs.
VICTIM BULLIED TAN'S SON DAILY: DEFENCE
Tan's defence lawyer, Cory Wong from Invictus Law, asked the court for a fine or not more than four weeks' jail for his client, who was an adjunct teacher registered under the Ministry of Education's (MOE) database.
He said the victim had been bullying Tan's son daily in front of other students, allegedly abusing him with vulgarities, including Hokkien words and cursing at his mother.
Mr Wong added that the victim would push and taunt Tan's son whenever he saw him in school.
Mr Wong said his client had gone to a teacher to report the bullying after hearing about it from his son, \"but alas nothing concrete materialised from the reports\".
\"Tan was instead told that the victim had anger management issues and felt that his concerns were being brushed aside,\" said Mr Wong.

the bully is a 10yo…I just wonder how big a bully he can be…
For such cases, I guess the first thing would be to inform form teacher, then school principal followed by asking to meet the bully’s parents? change seat or change class? what else can we do yeah? -

(The prosecutor) added that Tan could have escalated the matter to the discipline master, the principal or even to MOE, but instead attacked the boy.

I guess after you have gone through the chain of command and still, nothing gets done, you will be allowed to dress up as the Punisher. -

I guess even so maybe with the parents not the boy 
maybe some kids now very brave nowadays I could only think most of them in primary esp. may feel abit scared when the parents go talk to them directly. .maybe I have not provoked to that extent (yet), even the thought of telling the kids face to face, I worry I may scare them too much already.

I sympathize with him, no parent would want their child to be bullied in school.

What he did, I can understand but it does not make it right. -
I can ‘feel’ the pain too as a parent of ‘victim’…the more I feel I need to know how to react should that happen. We still see some unhappiness between students…but not to extent of causing alarm…when kids grown up and out to work, they will get it as well…treat it as knowing/learning in advance for ‘milder’ cases… you see some positives as in it helps building up some resiliences as well as the negative as in losing temper quickly etc… but for more serious cases, I think parents got to be involved else I feel it can get negatively on kids wellbeing.

yep , i can understand the pain of parents to know their kid is being bullied all the time....the fear n lousy feeling of the child. But this dad should control his anger, he could have stormed into Gen offc, P office to ask /demand for actions taken , if not - very easy - CALL MOE hotline, to speak to P's boss , or zonal director etc

actually, in the first place, the dad was at upper hand to make noise n complain all the way to MOE to make sch do something or transfer the bully kid somewhere / counselling session etc... But now... he LOST totally just bcos of personal anger & hurt the child (though bully but its someone else precious child too)
he himself turned into a big bully .sigh! :nailbite:
