“Teach Kindness and emphaty this can be learned in school or Home”

it emphasizes the importance of teaching kindness and empathy to combat bullying, which can
be learned both in schools and at home. Schools can implement programs that encourage
positive social interactions, while parents can model and reinforce these behaviors at home. By
teaching kindness and empathy, we can foster a more compassionate and caring society, where
children grow up to be empathetic and positive contributors to their communities.

SURVEY BODY

The majority of the respondents (74%) reported experiencing bullying, with verbal and social
bullying being the most common types. Schoolmates were identified as the main source of
bullying. While the majority of students (44%) reported being rarely bullied, a significant number
(42%) reported that bullying affects their life as a student, even if only to some degree.

In terms of how bullying makes them feel, a significant number of students (28%) reported
feeling disliked when bullied or witnessing someone being bullied, and over one-fifth (22%)
reported that bullying affects them so much as students. However, a large percentage (32%)
reported feeling neutral about bullying. These findings suggest that bullying may have negative
effects on the academic and social experiences of students and should be addressed by the
school administration.
