Currently now school bullying is becoming something else and should been taken very seriously it is capable of shaping a young person into something else when a child is being bullied it affect the child academic performance, it can affect the child confidence and mental health. The big problem is most of the kids that are bullied in school don’t speak up due that is why adult need to be informed and fully involved.
I was once a victim of bully when i was in college it was easy for me because the are bullying and i don’t report to my parents but of the times after am been bullied i will sit quietly in my corner and i will ask myself this question why do this set of people always bully me and i get to find out that the bully me because of desire for power or probably the are facing problem at home or lack of empathy in their in general there is no excuse when it comes to bullying another child must times punishing a bully is not enough because the will not stop the behavior rather the will bully kids more instead what we should be looking for is solution also to protect the victim.
How I will address bullying.
Bullying is one thing i dislike so much and when addressing it you need to be calm don’t allow your emotions to take the better part of you it requires a calm approach
Take every report seriously: don’t discharge any child’s report as a small or normal thing no bully is small or normal before a child walk up to you and report it was not easy for such a child to gather the confidence to try your best to investigate and treat it seriously
Listen first: listen to the child first without interrupting and judging the child get to know what happen so that you will know how to handle the case.
Since is school bullying i will not take laws into my hands will involve the school teachers and administrators because the have their own way of handling bullying.
My main aim is to make sure that the child is safe i will make sure that the child is not bullied again both in school and online.
The child that bully other should face consequences of his or her actions also possible step should be taken to help change their behavior.
My best advice to my child
As someone who have been a victim of bully before my approach to my child will be both emotional support and practical action.
I will comfort my child i will make the understand that he or she is not alone it was never their fault for telling me the did the right thing I have to make them feel safe.
I will build my child confidence: with confidence the can be able to stand their ground and defend whoever that is bullying them although confidence doesn’t stop bullying completely but it helps to boost the child confidence.
I will teach them the best safe responses and actions to take will tell my child to stay calm never to react emotionally in front of the bully. Walk away and seek for help.
See my child that is being bullied i will not allow him or her to face it alone i will be fully involved I will talk with the school teachers and school authorities i will follow up and make sure that the issue is address.
The level of bully in schools now is really alarming it’s something that parents and school authorities must address for me at a parent the most powerful thing i will give to my child is support and protection i will let my child to understand that his or her voice matters.
