Yes, in those \"All Girls\" schools, bullying is frightening.

In your girl's school, even though CHIJ xxx Secondary is a missionary school, it is frightening because these things are already happening,
because
one would have thought that such things happened only in NON-missionary schools... yet it is very sad, to see this happening, inside some missionary schools.
Now,
in another primary missionary school, because a close friend's daughter had revealed and shared that in some of the Upper Primary classes, got some 2019 P6 girls hide inside the girls toilet cubicle, locked the cubicle and hurt themselves physically, by cutting their wrists to inflict self harm. My friend's daughter was in this mission
primary school, P6 last year (2019) and she saw it happening, frightening.
How to implement this, if you are an official working inside MOE, and reading this forum right now ?
One method is,
on the stage, during one of the school's Assembly, get those medical psychiatrists to stand on the stage, and explain to all students, from all level (Primary 1 to Primary 6), that self-harm is wrong, and advised students to seek help early, if they fall into this trap ! So that the students are alerted before hand, and are aware that there is an avenue of help, available
Hope that following management in authority, will look into these
1) Attention MOE,
hope that MOE will step in, intervene in the nick of time to help as many school children as possible, send down psychiatrists, to each and every single Primary and Secondary school,
to educate and fore-warn, alert
students of All level, via obtain approval from their respective school Principal : not to inflict body self harm, not to hurt themselves
And
2)
Calling out
Attention to -
( Principal, Vice Principal, HOD and individual Upper primary classes Form Teachers) ,
Inside your own primary school (via this forum),
PLEASE
kindly look into this critical matter, URGENTLY !!!
Educate all your school girls, not to self harm, esp. Those upper primary school girls in P5 and P6
And
Very important
Try to identify out all those girls asap who are crying out for help emotionally , because if not, they won't be using pen knife to hurt themselves like that. These girls really need help, but they are very lost, don't know who or where, to turn to shout for help. Poor thing
Being an educator, whether you are P, VP, HOD or class Form Teacher, all have a responsibility role to play. It is within your duty, to help these girls asap.
3) all fellow students studying inside primary schools, if you happen to come across any student from any level who are inflicting self harm onto themselves,
please report quickly
to your Class Form Teacher at once immediately, so that your class Form Tr can in turn reach out, find out who this victim come from which class, can communicate directly with this victim's class Form Tr, urgently.
This way, the pitiful crying-out-for-help victim will then be able to receive help in the nick of time, to prevent herself from destroying herself even further damage.
4) parents with daughters,
please spend some time communicate with your daughters more often at home, dont just work and work 24×7 to bring home the doe, ignored your daughters. Your girls need your parental attention, support and love.
Do assure them of your love, care and concern, that come what may, you (Papa and Mama ) are always there for them, loving them very, very much,
so that our children realized and are aware that it is wrong, to inflict self harm onto their own body. E.g. cut wrist
Also, try to find out, in school, who are their close friends or classmates they are often in contact with, or hang around with. Keep a sharp lookout, on what kind of friends they associate frequently with. After school dismissed, if not for Cca, where do they hang out ? Who are their friends ? -
Labeling an incident as bullying can be important because it influences whether students tell an adult, as well as how adults respond to the student’s report

Thank you for the helpful links. My son had problems at school because of bullying, so I had to transfer him to another school. And I’m glad I did it, because he made friends and he comes home from school happy, not sad-eyed like a few years ago when he was at his old school.

I agree with you. I heard this saying during my young adult days & it stuck with me: \"Hurt people hurt other people\".
I often have quite complex feeling I dunno how to describe it.. whenever I read these abt young kids..how can someone so young do not have compassion..you can be naughty but not till to want to push someone to the end..and it is not a day/week/mth or two..but persistently like get satisfaction from other people's sufferings.. these kids need help as well :sad:
Some of them may come from background with parents who also display such verbal/physical aggression at home...they learn from imitation and use this similar behaviour in school. Others may have some pent-up anger issues and don't know how to express themselves except to vent on other kids in school.
But regardless of the reason, it just takes a strong adult (parent or teacher) to take a stand that their bullying behaviour is wrong and should stop. Otherwise they have to face some consequences. Quite possibly they have never heard someone tell them that before, in such firm terms with follow-up.
