When I started school I noticed how some bigger students bullied the smaller ones. Students or even children would be pinned against a wall or would hear foul languages from kids who bullied them. Constantly being told to give them money or their lunch. Is this happening in Fiji? Well, yes it is.
If it does not happend within the school itself it would happen to other schools. Jealousy, pride, stupidity, peer pressure would make students bully others. Sometimes it is caused by their emotional problems or broken families but do they have to go about bullying other students?
Victimization is an issue that both schools and parents need to talk about with children. It cannot be tolerated and other students are not to suffer due to this, it is just not fair.But on the other hand, can we blame them. They could sit there all day and wish that they had what the other child had, a luxurious life, a good clean pair of uniform, tasty lunch, spending money and good looking girlfriend or boyfriend. Although this may cause a muscular poor kid to bully someone they are not likely the ones to victimize others. Rich or even average students are bullying children, they can't seem to pick on someone their own size. They could flaunt they good looks and money around and force the poor kids to do whatever they wanted even if they have to drink from the toilet.
What these students fail to learn is the importance of working together, loving their neighbors, respect, obedience and education. They are in school to learn not show their muscular body or their unstoppable bad language. Victimization or bullying should stop and children must learn this from home and schools.
