During my school time, bullie is never an issue. Nowadays bullie has become a trend to some school boys/girls (the naughty one). It happen now in both primary and secondary school. Bullie is somthing like power, strong and controlling. In school, boys/girls who think he/she is strong or powerful can do any thing to the weak one. It become serious nowadays and i feel that my children is not save at school. I have my children in primary school have become one of the victims for several times. Usually they ask for money and if they refuse to give, they will get a punch. The only thing i can do is to inform the school about this matter. This kind of unhealthy behaviour is not suppose to happen at school aspecially in primary school. This matter should be rise up during parents meeting so that parent can take action and always monitor their children behaviour. Although they are still young, don't think this is not serious. Parent are always to be blame when comes to children behaviour.

I am probably a little older than you, since I am 51 years old. In my school days there was a lot of bullying too. But in my day, there was also a lot of fightings going on with the bullying. From the time I started grade 7 till the end of grade 9 I think I saw a fight just about every day. And almost all of them were one sided, as in one person picking the fight and the other person not wanting to fight but having no choice but to defend themselves. So this bullying is nothing new to me. I think it has always been happening in school, just never heard about it as much as you hear now about it, because now they don't just fight, they kill.

As a student who had been bullied before when I was fat... I could say that those are the worst experience I had. I actually have to hide it from my parents that I was being bullied as I don't want them telling it to the school as it could get even more humiliating after that. I was only able to pass those things because I was determined and strong enough to change myself. Now it's not an issue to me anymore. I think that as parents, the best they could do is comfort the child and give them strength and courage. Avoiding bullies as much as possible. Directly telling it to the school, is not what I would advice as the bully can even get more aggressive and secretly harm your child.

Bullies have always been around. I used to study in an all-girls school. There were bullies who pushed around just about everyone they felt like pushing around. Most of these bullies were from the upper-class rich families. They almost thought they owned everyone in the campus. They felt powerful and popular all over the school. The girls from the poor families would have to keep away from them so that they wouldn't be picked on at anytime these bullies would feel like humiliating and embarassing them in front of everyone.

Its been a serious issue usually in school...specially in primary school. Hope that its should not be blamed to us as a parents sometimes its beyond our control and I do believed that environment plays an important role for their upbringing.. but i have a daughter she experienced that and i just talk to her and to the school teacher about that and it never happened again...
