Dealing With Bullies: To Fight Or Not To Fight

By Paul Nyhart


It's currently the second most popular video on the internet, right behind a fifteen year old young girl singing regarding her most loved day of the week. Casey, the Australian young boy suspended for bodyslamming a kid for taunting, has stimulated editors to come up with their own renditions of the event, including this Street Fighter Zangief online video. Casey never thought he would be a glorified cult hero when he dropped the little one, but that is precisely what he is turning out to be, whether he likes it or not (word of mouth is that he doesn't worry about it).

Now, I'm not a leading educator or child psychiatrist, which might not really make a difference when it comes to issues like bullying, nor was I there to be aware of the precise context of what actually transpired. All I do know is what I remember when I had been a child: inspirational speakers would always go to our classes and drill into our heads that we were all completely different, and that being completely different was alright! One person came in and painted this mural for like an hour and a half, reminding us exactly how wonderful we have been in between, as all of us looked over each other in bewilderment why we were missing gym. Anti-bully campaigns enable you to use the internet and join petitions, and offer guidelines as to "what is a bully" as well as "why bullies do what they do," which increases understanding yet doesn't seem to be really proactive.

That's why plenty of people liked watching this child piledrive the "bully" into the ground due to the fact that they related with him and wish they could've undertaken the same thing. I'm not to imply that classes ought to reserve thirty minutes every day for wrestling or combats (that would be interesting however) but I feel there should surely be an attempt to build much more social relationship between students, in order to avoid children from feeling unhappy. We once had thirty-five minutes scheduled right at the end of the day for "silent reading," with most of that time period wasted gazing into space or looking at our educators have a head start on grading our paperwork. Bullies would always be present, but their impact is proportional to the number of friends the person being picked on has or how lonely they feel.

Social clubs are fantastic, yet exactly how many of them are intended for children who routinely receive a lot of crap from bullies? It is not rocket science, children don't require details on which children are bullies, and youngsters can care less about their intentions or "why bullies do what they do". The reality is, bullies become significantly less of an issue when the little ones they pick on have a lot more friends, and the majority of clubs tend to be centered on individuals that currently have a lot of friends. Bullies often target the new children since they are obviously on their own. How many educational institutions have programs that happen to be directed towards assimilating new pupils?

The Street Fighter Video is wonderful as it creatively, and more or less freakishly, transforms Street Fighter right into a "realistic depiction of a genuine event." But most notably, it shows what anti-bullying campaigns are lacking: authority, a key figure who takes a stand and who everyone could rally around and not feel lonely.
