Absolutely. I was bullied constantly in school but none of the school officials seemed to care, but
all of the sudden they started caring when I retalliated. |

Yea because when they bully kids they mess up the mentality and they could either commit suicide ir
either shoot up the school when they've had enough... Its happene plenty of times.. |

Yes they should. What they're doing now simply is not enough. |
| |
|
| |

|
Yes they should a lot of people get bullied. |

They are so my school is anyway. |

I entirely agree. I go to a Christian school and even then they don't discipline at all. All the
teachers do is hand a paper called a "refocus" form to the bullies. That form doesn't go on the
permanent records of the students. |

Kids that are loud-mouthed and aggressive to other kids without provocation, should be dealt with
strictly. Set precedents of discipline in the schools that takes the wind out of a bully's sails
early on, is the way to handle it fairly for all the students. Equality and justice for all. Not
just the loud-mouths in the schools: School is a place of higher learning. Under adverse
circumstances no one can properly learn their three "R"s as they should get to. |

I agree that schools must do more to address the issue of bullying. Children are often cruel to
other children whom they feel will not stand up to them. The issue is delicate because, if parents
get involved, the child being bullied, will often take more abuse due to that intervention. If the
child goes to the teacher, they are labeled as a tattle tale. As keepmindok stated, the teachers
are supposed to be smarter than the students and I believe a proactive stance is better than a
punitive one. In some cases, the bully is acting out due to ADHD (which causes impulsive behavior)
or, perhaps issues in the home. This does not excuse the behavior, although a trained teacher or
guidance counselor who is vigilant in observing "problem" students is able to discern the best
course of action. Under no circumstances should physical bullying be tolerated, nor should verbal
abuse. If a child is not able to control their behavior, they should be dealt with swiftly. The
fact is, children who are constantly picked on, do end up suffering from poor self esteem and
schools have a responsibility for all of the students' mental well being. A child that is unable to
control themselves and who presents frequently to the principal's office needs to suffer harsher
consequences on each occasion. Children are in school to learn, not only the material in their
textbooks, but also the social skills that will carry them through normal adult life. Teachers and
other staff must take their responsibility seriously and stop the bullying behavior even if that
means expelling a child who does not respond to several attempts of less severe discipline. |

Seems logical to nip the little blighter in the bud, so to speak.
I quite agree. |

Yes because they give so much bullet points of what to do when your bullied but they hardly do
anything, partly because they're not the one going through it. They don't understand what is going
on and it might be piling as well from family problems. |

School Bullying needs to be addressed, not necessarily punished.
What needs to be understood is, bullying is a learned behavior. Behavior can be modified. People can
be taught how to deal with them.
Although there is a difference between loutish behavior and Bullying.
Teachers and head teachers are supposed to be smarter than the pupils.
So if a procedure is not in place for identifying the above, then there needs to be. |

Why do bullies bully? It's because they are insecure or maybe they are cowards deep down but don't
want people to look down on them. I suggest they go for counselling and not to the extent of getting
expel. We should spare a thought for everyone, there's always a reason to everything. |

I don't think punishment could help in any way. Most bullies tend to have a unsecured heart. I think
that going to the extent as to expel is too far. We should try to understand the person, not using
violence or some strict discipline. |

I think schools actually do too much to stop bullying, in the UK anyway. There is the type of
bullying that might leave a child scarred for life or even push them to suicide and we obviously
should do our very best to stop this kind of bullying. However there is also name calling, fights,
etc that are relatively harmless. It wont make a kid feel very good at the time but in the long run
it can actually help their development, in whatever-doesn't-kill-me kind of way. Verbal and physical
exchanges of aggression are natural amongst children and we shouldn't interfere too much in their
development, they need a sense of independence. Children are not getting their sense of independence
because somebody is always there watching them, and this arguably explains why some graduates are
taking their mums along to job interviews! |
