So, what is the predominant sentiment here then? At 7 y.o. should the bullies be punished severely, or given some form of counselling and cut some slack?

If my son is the bully, I believe I would prefer:
1. School send him for compulsory counselling by FTSC
2. Caning in school done by parent (in front of class and victim's parents)
3. Not allowed to participate in physical or group activities/Detention during recess (buy food and sit outside GO or staffroom to eat & do work/read until recess is over)
4. No record in MOE's system (this has very long term implications in future)

usually at beginning of the yrs, they have buddy system whereby P3 will guide or protect P1… After which, assumption is all being, P1, is one big happy family…


One can’t stop from groups and gangs being formed within P1… And yes form teacher shd be made aware of such things early on i.e. During name calling, and stop from there. Just tt poor kid didn’t highlight nor approach anyone for help, till it becomes physical. I thought sch already got progra to share with kids on how to deal, report on bullies, as well as a hotline for poor little kid to call for help? Parents need to be aware of bully incidents and this can’t be help… Except constantly check on kiddos abt school and classmates behaviours.

As to the bully, hmmm… It is really parent education to addr such behaviour…

They should be punished, counselled and then given the chance to experience being bullied 1st hand! That should do the trick. Children are a reflection of their parents. So may be parents should be \"shamed\" too!

Hi! All,


Which shcool? Do you know?

meimeitan :?

yes, which school? Did the school take any action? Our children might be the next victim.

[dunnoleh]

both parents of the bullies should be given public caning in front of their children and the whole school.

I actually find the hardline views here fairly disturbing.

too much violence on tv and internet, dvd, violent cartoons & games etc


reap what you sow

To add on to violence games, shows, etc, some parents are also treating their children as if they are so precious.these children often think they are king or queen, because they are treated as king or queen at home. So they can anyhow bully or treat other kids as if they are rubbish/xia deng ren (low class people).

Totally agree.
And with SGreans being so face conscious... shaming shld be more effective than other punshment.
Shame the bully, parents and the school.

Bullying in schools have been happening since time immemorial, long before internet.


Many of the bullies have self image issues, come from broken families.

Although their behaviour cannot be condoned, just whipping them and then leaving them to their own devices is not the solution. Next thing they are at Bukit Panjang slashing passers-by.

Punishment and discipline needs to be coupled with compassion and rehab, no matter how distasteful that may be to the parents of the victims.
