Just some days ago when I wrote on a prompt about physical and online bullying. Bullying has eaten deep into our society so much that it has started to look like a normal act that doesn't get an instant caution.
You would see people been bullied up to the point of committing suicide, isolating themselves from the society or not feeling safe and confident in themselves being a victim and the least I can even withstand to see is having someone close to me go through such.
However, in schools now, we have students who were brought up in the hands of bullying parent or whatever and they've also grown to become an offspring of bullying.
Students especially victims dread to go to school because they will be bullied by that senior student and worst of it is that it doesn't even necessarily have to be a senior and it can always be someone from same class as the victims but born with the bloodline of being a bully.
Unfortunately, I don't think there are enough precautions on these acts and that's why bullying never cease to stop especially from this primary and basic level which is in school.
So, let's say my child happens to go to the same school with such bullying student, this is what I'll tell him or her even before I stand in to interfere:
When that boy or girl come close to you to bully you again, do not be afraid, he is only like a Goliath with no power and the moment you are courageous to face him, stand up to him and his guts, he won't come for you anymore.
It is one thing to fight for and defend a victim of bullying but it's another thing for such victim to be able to stand up for themselves and fight for themselves. Then if it's past what they can handle then they can seek help but their primary courage is needed to stand up for themselves and that's what I'll build in my child because I won't be there everytime to defend him/her neither will the teachers in school be available everytime.
Afterwards, the school authorities would have to hear from me on why my child has to be bullied in school without them stopping such acts amidst their students.
I don't joke with my family so I'm sure I'm not gonna sit well with someone toying with my child's stable mind.
I'll be dropping my 🖊️ here on the Ladiesofhive community prompt
