Happy weekend to everyone in the #hivelearners community and beyond. Am happy to be adding my voice to the 3rd edition. The subject matter before us is another hot one because most of us have faced it either directly or indirectly.
Bullying is not a good experience because if care is not taken the party involved may lose his or her life in the process. There are different forms of a bully which I will name a few in this content.
- Verbal Bully: This involves exchanging words with someone in a harsh manager and thereby altering words that are destructive to the person. I have witnessed this on several occasions. Most times the person that is receiving the hard part will be left with tears.
- Beating Up of someone by a group of persons: this involves a group of persons beating someone either with hands or objects and sometimes cutlass. I was privileged to attend a boarded school where only girls were this common. Seniors will just be looking for every possible way that a junior will enter their trap, and when that happens, they give what is called a general beating. Hmmmm, I have been a victim of this and it wasn't funny at all. I went home a reported this incident and one of my uncles who were then a principal told me if that should repeat itself I should let him know, I reported to the school authority and those set of girls were punished. Since then it didn't happen till I graduated. Imagine what those girls will go to the society with if their hearts are not properly helped
- Parents Children Bully: Sometimes parents are the ones that bully their children themselves, when you don't give a child an opportunity to express him or herself before publishing, you are wrong. A child should be given time to speak when something goes wrong. And it is not only by beating a child that you will punish him or her, in my country beating a child is allowed but most parents do it in the wrong way. Some parents even call their children terrible names because they misbehaved, foolishness is in heart of children, so just give them some time to overgrownhe foolishness.
How Bullying Can be Eradicated
*Anyone found with the act should be made to face the wrath of the law. When people are thought that taking laws into their hands is bad, they will stop it.
- Parents should learn how to give their children the opportunity to express themselves. Because if they grow with the mind of bullying they will think it is the way of life, and when they get into the society they will impact same the people they meet
- Sensitization programs should be held to teach on dangers of bullying and how to handle it.
- We should learn how to use kind words to avoid verbal bullying.
- A better conflict resolution technique should be adopted in society. Violence is not always the best way to handle issues.
I appreciate everyone that came visiting to my blog and i which we should stay off bullying of any form
