Bullying

Dear Editor

Good afternoon. This is Luna Lee from Brent International School Baguio, which is located in the Philippines. I read your article about “Bullying and victims’ rights.” Every year, the rate of verbal abuse or harassment and the important thing is that, it happens especially in High school students. Many high school students suffer from bullying and they couldn’t tell to anybody because nobody would believe the fact that they are bullied by others. Only few schools around the world have solutions or punishment for bullying.

We must do something for those students who are suffering from these situations even right now. If we ignore what is happening around the students, the result is terrible. They will just commit suicide, and those who bullied will regret for what they have done. For the benefits of both sides, we should make rules that those who bullied will have a punishment, and for the students who suffered from bullying, schools must recommend for counseling session for them.

First, we should go through these solutions which country has high suicide rate such as South Korea, Japan, and India. All the teachers’ students must participate with this solution and we have to tell the students that they are not alone. Thank you for reading this letter and I hope the society would change in a better way.
