Bullying has been a widespread headache in our school. Most of the riots and gang war started from bullying. Most of the schools bullying were just ignored, they even don’t take actions of the damages cause by bullying. I remembered from a parent in the school of my son where she shared what happened to her son inside the school. Her son was bullied from the school paper. Imagine his own pictures were the source of laugh in the whole campus and he is in high school level. Just imagine how embarrassing it is for him. For a month or two her son suffered from trauma and he stop for a while but came back to school after a long and several talk.
Aside from that I also heard lots of news about bullying inside the school. Just the same the school did not do anything about it.
I am really surprised that the school head and administration did not do anything about it. Anyway maybe because the school administration where not capable enough to handle such things and maybe they don’t have enough knowledge about it.
Now that the law about Anti – bullying where passed, I guess school administration and heads can now be guided on what to do if such things occurs inside the school campuses. They just can’t ignore such things especially if it is the main reason why the students were having problem.
I am glad that this law has been passed on; I hope and prayed that it will be used according to its purpose. Then served rightfully to those who deserved to be punished according to the law. Also with the help of this law, I just hope that the bullying will be lessen inside the school premises, and not only that also in our own home. Because I know bullying really started from our own home. Just the same we just ignore it, because we thought that it’s just as simple as “sungog” and making fun with one another.
Violence against women and children, for us to be protected against who threatens our life and put us on danger. I know that this law has been implemented and used many times. However, I just noticed it that some famous personalities where abused it and used it on their own favor. I guess some rulings of it need to be revised for it not to be abused by elite and famous personalities.
