BULLYING

Education is a very important part of a child's life,and yetan increasing number ofchildren say theydont want to attend school. It is not that they findthe work too difficult or are afraid of the teachers.No, it is because there are bullies at school. Schoolbullies can make other children's lives hard, and

their bullying takes different forms. Often, theyuse their physical size to scare those who aresmaller and weaker than themselves. They scaresmaller kids, often using physical force to take theirmoney, and will steal things from them by force.Bullies also attack with words. Their target mayoften simply be slightly different in some wayfromthe rest of the class. A child may have red hair,wear spectacles, not have the latest fashion inshoes, or have only one parent, for example. Thiscan make them a target for the school bully, who

will use very bad language to attack.Some psychologists say that the class bully does itbecause of an inferiority complex or some personalunhappiness, but this does not help the victims.The bullying problem is so great that many schoolsare planning official ways to stop it. Teachersencourage the victims of bullying to report thematter to one of them, but many of the studentsare afraid to do it, for fear of more physical orverbal attack. So, many bullies escape unpunished.

We must protect our children from this problem.They have a right to enjoy their school days.
