Big Bully: Jia Yan

Big Bully: Jia Yan

Personally i think that bullies such as the one in the article are caused by more then just the ignorance of parents who are busy with their work. I think in schools, Teachers also play an important role in determining the extent of student's behaviour, poor self esteem, insecurity and lack of empathy.

I think that empathy is a mechanism that prevents people from hurting other people's feeling, which is missing for bullies; they seems to be unable to feel bad or recognize when they hurt their feelings. Like the bully in the Spring Magazine he felt highly respected, when people called him 'terror' because of the much attention that was given to him. He would disturb girls and calling them with anonymous names instead of their real name. Because he wanted to be known as the big 'boss', he was unable to feel that he was hurting their feeling, thus lacking of empathy in themselves. If you got bullied, maybe you could try to learn Taekwondo, although it may sounds weird but it sure comes in handy if a fight you knew is inevitable.

I think Bullies are bound to be there, as long as there are humans and no matter what kind of programmes or teaching are to emplace, bullies cannot be stopped but only can be reduced. Nowadays common bullying is via computor which is known as cyberbullying; this is done by texting, posting and commenting online which could hurt people feelings.

Here is a clip on what causes bullying, either online via for example facebook or in a real life situation and the impacts that bullying happened on students.


In conclusion, with reference to the video, a principle/teachers should not be totally blamed on for kids bullying on others, basically it should be the kids and everyone getting around together to figure things out, hence no kids would be left out.
