BULLYING

PAGSANAHAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

 Dave used to be a consistent honor pupil when he was still in kindergarten. Then,
the family moved to a city when his father became a supervisor of the company where
he is working.
It was the middle of school year and Dave, now 8, had to be transferred to a new
school, a few distant away from where they are living. It was a totally different
surrounding for Dave; new classmates, new teachers, and new friends.
In the first few weeks, it was fine. Then, something weird happened. He felt sick
in the morning. His grades started to drop. He had unexplained cuts or bruises. Then,
one afternoon, after arriving from school, he told his mother: “I don’t want to go to
school anymore.”
 Sarah was completely baffled. When they were still in the province, Dave
really liked going to school. But now, he didn’t want to school which is just nearby.
She asked her son but he won’t say anything.
The mother instinct said there was really something wrong with her son. No,
it wasn’t about her son but something must have been done to him in order for him
to be reclusive. After doing some sleuth – asking Dave’s friends – she found out that
her son was being bullied by one of his classmates, the son of the school principal.
 “Bullying is a symptom of a deeper problem. It should never be tolerated.
Through the Anti-Bullying Act, we provide a platform for young victims
to speak up and seek help. Quality education and a safe and positive
learning environment go hand in hand.”
– Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara

 How to avoid bullies?

 Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself!

 If you are with a group of other kids, stick up for one another. Take
some of the bullies power away.
 Avoid getting too emotional. Don't let the bully know how angry and
scared you are.
 Tell your teacher or a school principal about the bullying
 Ignore the bully. Most bullies want a reaction, so don't give them the
satisfaction. Pretend like you don't hear them and keep walking.
