All About Bullying
-
Its indeed troubling when u heard that your DS or DD bullied in school… My DS had this problem when he is in P1. He came home with bruises on his legs and I thought it was due to his activeness. You know, boys being boys. But as i chatted with him, he told be that there are some people for will kick him on his legs during recess time…
We spoke with the form teacher because i also fear that DS have misbehaved in the 1st place. While the teacher reassured me after ‘interviewing’ the students involve that the kids are being mischevious and somehow targetted my DS… They apologised and we moved on. But such incidents don’t stop, it still happens with other students though… It became a learning process for DS and us parents on how to handle to such situations… Till today, we are still learning… -
this may not be agreeable to some, but if the child is being bullied time and again, fighting back may be the way.
sometimes, the bully is a coward. If the victim stands up to him/her, the bully will learn the lesson that this kid can and will fight back. -
bullying may not be physical
it can be verbal, or isolation. -
As it stands now, the kind of bully that my DS experienced is physical & I am so worried that he is the verbal bully…

what should i do? fetched my p3 girl from sch today and she told me her classmates, 1 sitting on her left, n 1 on her right, punched her in the face. both were females. she wanted to stand up and tell the teacher, this incident happened in class, but the girl hold her down and tell her not to.
And these were the two girls that broke her correction tape, eraser… drew on her hand…
feedback to the teacher, and he said he will talk to them. so thats it? im so worried! -
Request for your girl to change seats. It shouldn’t be too difficult for the teacher. If the two students next to her are very mischievous, he should place them further apart.
Some students are bold enough to stand up for themselves. I have one student who hits back at the boys who try to bully her. I don’t condone getting into fights, but whenever the teacher’s disciplinary measures fail, she manages to prevent the bullies from getting to her using her own methods. She also scolds the bullies on behalf of the teacher.
For students who are not so bold, however, the next best alternative is to tell the teacher to let them sit further apart and ask the bullied students to make more friends in class. In the school, there is strength in numbers. Bullies normally pick on those who have fewer friends. -
thank you for the reply!
my child learnt wushu in sch since p1, i thought she would try to defense herself, but she didnt.
i just emailed the teacher regarding the change of seat, hopes he responds fast. -

Punch in the face is a big no-no. I will talk to the teacher personally, discuss the situation, and change the seats AND group. Some kids tend to act up when grouped together and a sharp teacher will handle it by breaking up the seating arrangement, or changing classes. It's not enough talking to the group because the girls will ostracize her further or use other bullying tactics.what should i do? fetched my p3 girl from sch today and she told me her classmates, 1 sitting on her left, n 1 on her right, punched her in the face. both were females. she wanted to stand up and tell the teacher, this incident happened in class, but the girl hold her down and tell her not to.

Keep communicating with your child. If possible, make an effort to pick her up at school and say hi to the other two girls. Show your face, greet them by name and introduce yourself and go. Sometimes that in itself is enough deterrent. If it happens again, email teacher, cc principal.
One of our family friends works in the police force. After his P2 daughter had her things stolen repeatedly, he went to the school personally, had a talk and left his name card with the teacher. The teacher showed it to the whole class and gave stern warning. No more stealing afterwards. Another incident when a teacher kept rapping the girl's head for a few months. He went to school and the teacher quaked and apologized within 5min. If you are in the right, be polite but not apologetic in expecting actions. -

I think it is best to sign up your kids with karate or teach them some self-defense. It is not to fight with others but at least your child could learn to defend himself.
sure or not?
Later the bully try to beat him up I'm the end your kids beat the bully up and then the bully acts innocent go tell teacher.
Your kid will be in trouble.

I remember in my primary school my friends and I just tease each other for fun, then we shrug it off
Mild teasing can be just playing, unless the teasing gets really harsh like \"You stupid pig\".
Physical is another problem. I feel physical is more serious. Should complain to the school more about it.
If the school really refuses to take action, you might want to transfer your child into another school.
