Student was bullied because of his “honest” confession on the

Confession site of their school

January 28, 2019 where a first year college student known as “Butchoy”
posed online a confession on a confession site . It was supposed to be a
confession where he could release his true feelings and unfairness when
some students used hurtful words towards their section.
In retaliation, he posed a confession on their school’s confession site and
there starts the bullying.

Section 2. Acts of Bullying.  – For purposes of this Act, "bullying" shall refer
to any severe or repeated use by one or more students of a written, verbal
or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture, or any combination
thereof, directed at another student that has the effect of actually causing
or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm or
damage to his property; creating a hostile environment at school for the
other student; infringing on the rights of the other student at school; or
materially and substantially disrupting the education process or the orderly
operation of a school; such as, but not limited to, the following:

a. Any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim
like punching, pushing, shoving, kicking, slapping, tickling, headlocks,
inflicting school pranks, teasing, fighting and the use of available
objects as weapons;

b. Any act that causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional

well-being;

undue emotional distress like directing foul language or profanity at
the target, name-calling, tormenting and commenting negatively on
victim’s looks, clothes and body; and

d. Cyber-bullying or any bullying done through the use of technology

or any electronic means.

If you can see the underlined word from above, what the admin from the
site did to “Butchoy” is an act of Cyber-Bullying. Besides, giving his name
which is an act of invading his privacy.

To make matters worse, the Confession site also used foul mouthed words.
Calling names, spreading rumors, threatening somebody, and making fun
of others are all forms of verbal bullying. Verbal bullying is one of the most
common types of bullying. In verbal bullying the main weapon the bully
uses is their voice.
Bullying in person as well as in the internet is wide spread now. Because of
the modern technologies, identities can be hidden and crimes can be done
in a fast and easy way. Your neighbor’s son maybe a victim, today must be
your close friend, and in the future, maybe you would be victimized as well,
so together: Stop Bullying!
