Bullying and Abuse At School Should End
By Muhkamat Anwar via UN Online Volunteering
Bullying exists in our society. Physical and psychological violence victims
can feel alienated by society, and can
cause a person to be unsocial.
Children and juveniles
are mostly the center of bullying behavior. Unwittingly,
the victim really feels hurt. This
is my story,
and of course, it must have been experienced by many children and juvenile worldwide.
I
am now 21
years old working in my country in Asia. When I was in
elementary school, I experienced bullying,
although it was not severe in my opinion. By 6th grade,
I only had two
friends. My other classmates did not think
of me as their friend. This
case started because I did not want to give
my homework to them. The ill treatment caused to me by my classmates
started at the beginning of the first semester in grade 6 and went on until graduation.
My
worst year was in ninth grade
at junior high school. Without any cause, I
got a harsh treatment such as beatings
using a large piece of paper or other objects in the class. I was
insulted and this really hurt me. At that time I was really upset and
I tried to fight, but there were too many bullies. At that time I wished I never
knew them. What they did to me was inhuman and against the freedom
of human rights as
God's intelligent creatures.
When I graduated from junior
high school, I hoped never to see
them again. My prayers were answered, and when I got into high-school I felt happy that the bullying will stop. However, the bullying was still
there although slightly. I told my
classmates to refrain from bullying or violence and a positive impact would
come from it.
Right
now I
have completed my college diploma and work
in the public service in my country. I am very proud of the success that I have achieved,
which would not have happened if I had given in to the bullies.
Bullying
is not only at school. Teenagers, especially women face bullying concerning
their weight. I usually asked my friend what they thought by calling someone
fat. I feel that bullying
someones weight is bad, and encourage women to speak out and please
share your story and your feelings about it.
This is about #SharingNotShaming.
