summary
- One in four secondary school students is a victim of bullying and they experience it at least twice a week.
-schools and teachers have not been working to solve this problem.
-It becomes a vicious cycle when the victims become bullies themselves.
-The Children's Society says it is important that victims not take things into their own hands but seek help from counsellors, teachers or friends.


I think that schools and teachers should step in to stop such undesirable acts in schools. Schools should view this matter seriously and set ground rules against bullying. Both the bully and the victim needs to be counselled.
To prevent it from becoming a vicious cycle, information needs to be brought across to the students. In the case when they are being bullied, they should know how to deal with the situation and who to turn to for help. Talks and presentations can be conducted in schools to bring these messages forward.
