I actually find the hardline views here fairly disturbing.

verykiasu2010:
To add on to violence games, shows, etc, some parents are also treating their children as if they are so precious.these children often think they are king or queen, because they are treated as king or queen at home. So they can anyhow bully or treat other kids as if they are rubbish/xia deng ren (low class people).too much violence on tv and internet, dvd, violent cartoons & games etc

Quintessential Mum:
Totally agree.3Boys:
So, what is the predominant sentiment here then? At 7 y.o. should the bullies be punished severely, or given some form of counselling and cut some slack?
They should be punished, counselled and then given the chance to experience being bullied 1st hand! That should do the trick. Children are a reflection of their parents. So may be parents should be \"shamed\" too!
And with SGreans being so face conscious... shaming shld be more effective than other punshment.
Shame the bully, parents and the school. -
Bullying in schools have been happening since time immemorial, long before internet.
Many of the bullies have self image issues, come from broken families.
Although their behaviour cannot be condoned, just whipping them and then leaving them to their own devices is not the solution. Next thing they are at Bukit Panjang slashing passers-by.
Punishment and discipline needs to be coupled with compassion and rehab, no matter how distasteful that may be to the parents of the victims. -

If the kids are beyond parental control... esp at such young age... then something is very wrong... and the last thing on my mind is compassion.Bullying in schools have been happening since time immemorial, long before internet.

Spare the rod... spoil the child.
They can only get worst when older...
Besides bullies... parents should teach their kids how to deal with bullies... and be aware of what's going on in sch.
To let the tauntings escalate to become beatings... all parties are at fault. -
What about
1. Counseling for both the kid and the parent/ guardian
2. Apology to the child whom they bullied
3. Some form of ways to make up for what they did-like :idea: some form of community service e.g. Taking care of the school's garden/mini zoo. think up their own project e.g. create a notice board about not bullying and calling people names (Not too sure how practical these ideas is given the school's resources though) -

Not all bullies are out of control, some may respond better to methods other than a sound thrashing. Further, I did not say to spare the rod. But if that is all we do, then we are doomed to failure.

Can someone share with me is bullying at the younger age group worser in an all-girls or all-boys school compared to a co-ed school?
When there are mixed genders, do children learn how to tolerate better? Just a thought… -
ksi:
My guess is, in a co-ed school, boys that cannot seem to form friendship with other boys can turn to girls for friendship while girls who find other groups of girls to be gossipy and or not their 'kind', can turn to boys for friendship. hence, the chances of being 'alone' is reduced and i think bullies usually don't bother those who move around in groups.
