So, making silly arguments is now a form of ?bullying??
2012-01-24 04:08:00 Sunlight, I’ve always believed, is the best disinfectant. We should not hinder people from voicing their opinions, no matter how hateful because only when they voice them can we counter them. Today, in her inimitable style, Amy Alkon, an Angelena diva who quips that if she “were any more gay-friendly,” she’d “have a girlfriend instead ...

Bullying and our Military Children
2011-12-23 15:29:00 I am a mom. Mom of a senior in high school, a 3rd grader, a 1st grader, and a toddler. My 3rd grader is a bit on the small side. He's never been on the 'charts' and we have even been to a specialist just to be sure all is well. All is well, medically, and his stature has been chalked up to genetics and that is a-ok with me. However, already at 9 years old I have witnessed a few instances of the 'bigger kids' picking on the smaller (same age but some twice his size). One instance of apparent bullying was a fellow soccer player, church friend and school mate pushed my son down and then put his foot on my son's head as if it were a ball. I yelled. Dad of fellow-soccer player just watched. I went into mother-bear mode. Aforementioned Dad went into "ha ha, isn't that kind of funny mode." What kind of parent are you? Equip your kids. Talk about it. Make teachable...
Bullying, child abuse, trafficking in Hong Kong
2011-12-21 06:27:00 Bullying in schools, child abuse, domestic violence, and people trafficking. These are not the easiest subjects to research in Hong Kong. I might be going out on a bit of a limb here, but there does seem to be a little reluctance on the part of some to fully acknowledge the seriousness of these issues. After making half a dozen phone calls and leaving my email address, I am still waiting to receive up-to-date, contemporary figures relating to the issue of bullying in schools here. Maybe I am just being impatient. Various organisations were pretty vague. While admitting that yes, of course, there is bullying, it was not considered to be as endemic here as it is perhaps in schools in North America or Europe. A number of my colleagues who have school-age children said pretty much the same thing. I also learned there is not - at least to the best of anyone's knowledge - a service such as provided by SHOUTwithCAABS here in the SAR.One group that does seem to be taking bullying very seri...

Child abuse and bullying In Hong Kong schools
2011-12-13 13:49:00 We recently connected with a U.K.-based group called @SHOUTwithCAABS on twitter, an advanced and net-savvy organisation dedicated to ending bullying in schools and providing a service to abused children.CAABS - the Child Abuse - Anti Bullying System is - is a unique system that allows victims to report incidents of abuse or bullying with just three clicks of a computer mouse.From their website:CAABS Report is a very easy to use visualised 'Early Identification and Reporting System'. Designed for school computers, CAABS allows children from as young as 5 years old to be able to report child safety issues without any of the traditional barriers thatare currently associated with preventing many children from reporting.It got us wondering what the situation was like here in Hong Kong, and indeed if any systems like CAABS existed here. Our first enquiries among parents and some children's welfare groups have indicated that no, nothing like this is available in Hong Kong. But the respo...
Indian Kids Maybe Prone To Cyber Bullying: Lack Of Guidance Is To Blame?
2011-11-23 06:45:00 As more and more kids get onto the Internet at progressively younger ages, it is becoming difficult for their parents to keep up with their activities, thus falling short of protecting the child. An unguided child has a high risk of falling prey to cyber bullying and according to a dipstick survey conducted by McAfee, this is indeed the case. The survey was conducted with 500 children within the age group of 9 to 17 across 10 different cities. The broad findings are that 62% of these children shared their personal info on the internet while 38% of the parents had no clue as to what their children were doing online. 58% of these children shared their home address on the web while some 12% have been victims of some kind of cyber threat. Of all the cities that were polled Mumbai has the highest levels of cyber bullying and kids watching adult content on the Internet. While 79% of the parents polled in Chennai acknowledged that their children had email accounts, 39% said that they wer...

How to really stop bullying.
2011-10-22 15:07:00 I'm really starting to get annoyed at all this anti-bullying stuff I'm seeing on TV. It's not because I support bullying, it's because I think it's just plain ridiculous.Let's have a meeting! A special on TV! Let's talk it out! Maybe a Youtube video or twelve?No. That's not going to cut it. Do you want to know how to REALLY stop bullying? If the Internet has taught me anything, it's that if you have rules they must be enforced with the will of a mad dictator or they won't be taken seriously.Schools need to step the hell up and enforce their rules. Maybe the teachers, maybe they need to hire security guards. And if the schools won't do anything? Students need to take care of it. If you get bullied, beat the fucking shit out of whoever is bullying you.I got bullied... one time in second grade. Some kid decided it would be amusing to kick me as I walked up a hill. I turned around, punched him so hard his nose was broken and then casually kept going. I got into trouble, ...

Bullying in School- Does Anyone Want to Step Up?
2010-10-14 05:42:00 About 8 years ago, I became aware of a bullying situation in a Catholic middle school. At the time, I was the City Clerk of Chicago and thought it was incumbent upon me to try to do something constructive to address the problem. I co-sponsored an anti-bullying seminar at the school. The school and I hired experts in this field to not only address the students but also do some role-playing to actually demonstrate how devastating bullying could be, emotionally and physically. Parents were also invited to attend and, unfortunately, only a handful took the time to show up. My point is, I sponsored this seminar almost 8 years ago and what has changed? Bullying continues at almost epidemic levels....
