Salam.
Bully is not only happen in school anymore. These days, its happen in college, university and out side of school too. Nowadays, its gone far way extreme. Its inhumane, physical & mental abuse, severe injuries and some cases, causing death.
In Malaysia especially, the country i was born. We face the same problem of this bully.
Last year, our country was shocked by a news of 21 years old Malay boy (the blue shirt boy in the image on the top), a student of Malaysian National Defense University died caused by bully. News spread that he was tortured, bound, been beaten, burned with an iron for two days, all because of a laptop, which allegedly stolen by victim. Reported, 80% of his body was covered in bruises and burn marks. Further of the case, 36 students of the University was captured but 19 of them was allegedly committed to the act. 5 of them charged under section 302 of the penal code which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction, 1 student charged under 109 the panel code read with section 302 of the penal code which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
Not only that.
Once again our country was thrown with the news of death. An Indian boy 18 years old died (the white shirt boy in the image on the top), been beaten by a group of boys, teenagers. He and his friend was attacked, but his friend manage to escaped and called for help. For that case, 4 teenagers has been captured on charge of murder under Section 302 of the penal code which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
The third case of death.
Two Navy men died. They have been abused by three of their team mate. Based on the post-mortem report, one of the navy men was died due to bleeding of the Lung caused by blunt trauma while another navy men died from lung bleeding and blunt trauma on the soft tissues. Further more on that case, seven navy personnel arrested, five of them charged under Section 302 of the penal code which carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
In the other case,
Six boys Form Two (14 years old) students was bullied by their seniors over a football shoe. This case happened at one of science school in Perak. The case was closed with that 10 senior students, the bully have expelled from the school after found guilty.
Viral.
These day, there is so many viral videos of bullying occurrence. Its every where. Like a virus. Kids nowadays, the eagerness of being more power or to show to others that their unbeatable has grown unmanageable in them. Inhumanity, cruel, brutal behavior without even cross in their minds of the consequences.
Morality.
Primary school in Malaysia, we have kind of subject to teach about morality Pendidikan Agama Islam (Islamic Education) for muslim students and for non-muslim students, they have Pendidikan Moral (Moral Education). But then, we still face the same problem repetitively. I believe, parents also have their best played a role to teach a morality at home. No parents wants their child to be a victim of bully or be a bully.
In my opinion, we need to emphasizing that this bad behavior will have a profound effect not only on the victim and the victim's family, but for the bully himself and the bully family as well. We need to assert that there is no-future for the bully if they still retain this kind of bad behavior.
I know we could not control of their mind, but i supposed we could use reverse psychology to re-boot their mind.
Certain of parents, they don't really take this as a serious thing in mind. They always thinking that it is normal for children to behave like a bully and they always think "they nothing but just a child" when they grow up soon, they will change the behavior. But let see, so far, how many percentage of the kids with bully behavior change to someone consider to others feeling?? yes, too bad. So, this is really serious matter to us. Don't raised them to be a bully. But raised them to love others even there is no love in return.
