This is a report written by a pupil on the problem of bullying in English schools. He was asked to look especially at to questions: Firstly what causes bullying? Secondary, How should bullies be punished?
“In our school there are many bullies, and they never stop bullying. I think it is there nature to be bullies. they generally pick mum children who are younger than they are you are polite and scared of them. they find real fun in bullying and they always think they are big and strong when they are doing it .
I think that bullies are really cruel and cowards. they're wrong to have a high opinion of themselves. they get together to cause nothing but trouble, Either buy punching the younger children, Or pinching their money, or pushing them on the ground, or making sarcastic remarks.
I think bullies should be reported to the teachers, and the school should keep records of them. they should be given one or two warnings and then a severe punishment. Their parents should be informed so that they have a clear picture of what is happening. If the parents cannot control their children, then the children should be expelled.
Every child should encouraged to be brave and also to feel free to report bullies to the teachers. no child should be scared of them.’’
