SCHOOL BULLYING

THESIS:
Educatioon is a very important part of a child’s life, and yet an increasing number of
children are showing reluctance to attend school. It is not that they find the work too
difficult or are afraid of the teachers. Instead, it is because they are being bullied.

ARGUMENT:
School bullies can make other children’s lives a misery. The butt of this abuse may
often simply be slightly different in some way from the rest of the class. A child may
have red hair, wear spectacles, or be of a different race, for example. This can make
them a target for the school bully.

ARGUMENT:
Bullying takes different forms. Bullies use verbal abuse as well as physical abuse on
their victims. They mock or insult their victims with the most insulting name calling.
Often they will use their physical size to intimidate those who are smaller and weaker
than themselves. The bullies will threaten their victims with a beating to extort money,
to take their possession or to tell them to do stupid things.

ARGUMENT:
Some psychologists say that the desire of the class bully to dominate the others is a
result of an inferiority complex or some personal unhappiness, but this does not help
those who are on the receiving end.

RECCOMENDATION:
So great is the bullying problem that many schools have been forced to draw up an
official strategy for dealing with it. To prevent bullying, schools need to help the
students to develop their potential and encourage them to love, respect and help each
others. We must protect the students from bullying. They have a right to enjoy theirs
schooldays.
