Addressing School Violence and Bullying

Violence in schools is a serious problem in Vietnam, with approximately 5 cases reported daily. Students often do not feel comfortable reporting incidents of bullying to teachers or parents. There are online support groups with over 9000 members where students share their experiences of school violence and feeling isolated from relatives. The family environment can contribute to whether children develop violent tendencies, as observing violence at home may lead them to use violence themselves to resolve conflicts. Solutions proposed include vigorously promoting education on preventing school violence, increasing awareness of signs that a child may be a bully, and improving mental healthcare for students.

Intro

Why are almost all students' behavior results in the final


of the year good, although there have been many cases
of violence in school that do not cut down, even though
they seriously increase?
Violence in school is always a hot-tempered problem in
education. How can parents protect their children? Why
is the school's psychologist not reliable for them to
share their stories? How can you improve the mental
health treatment quality for children who have
experienced a school psychology crisis?
Reality
In the afternoon of April 24th, the head of the People's
Committee of Dong Anh district, Hanoi, confirmed that
the police investigated the case of the female student of
the local high school who had been bullied and had to
be hospitalized for treatment.
On average, there are about five school violence cases
in and out of school every day in Viet Nam. And each
year, roughly 1600-1800 cases happen, which is the
newest statistic of education. This number is only the
tip of the iceberg because plenty of cases go unreported.
Student memories is no longer beautiful for children.
Causes
RELATIONSHIP GAPS BETWEEN STUDENTS
AND THEIR RELATIVES
In addition to the listener's truly willingness to listen,
providing a safe environment for children, especially
victims of school violence, is very important to let them
to speak out. Unfortunately, when that safe place is not
the classroom, the counseiling room, or even your
family. Safety is found in online groups. As you can
see, the group of those experiencing school violence,
isolation, and body shaming has more than 9000
members. I attended and still do not think I have read a
lot of anxious stories about violent school of students
who’s in secondary school or high school in these
groups.
After reading all the posts and comments, I found a
common point when I was trying to confide in a friend
who was the victim of violence in school. "I tried to tell
my teacher, but she told me to leave them alone. As for
my mom, she said that it does not deserve to be
minded"
Yes, of course, the hardest for the victims of violence in
school is the feeling of lonely among their relatives.
SIGNIFICANCE OF FAMILY ON ONE'S GROWTH
The family environment contributes to building
character in children, especially if they grow up as
bullies or not. Many parents should reconsider using
violence to solve matters. If children observe their
parents using violence to handle problems they may
believe that violent people have power. As a result, they
would carry violence far from the house to deal with
their own conflicts.
Next, let's check if they're choosing violence against
their son or daughter. If children are tyrannized at
home, they will tend to use it to tyrannize over some
one else. “Parents use violence against their children to
resolve problems they encounter in their everyday life
and it is socially accepted”
In family, Despising, defamation and bullying will
affect to the children’s character and mentality. For
example:
“Hey stop eating, you’re fat. Oh, sorry, I’m just kidding,
don’t be sad okay?”
As you can see, I use the psychological violence to
attack her because I was jealous of her body.
Solutions
Now that I've decided on how to tackle these not-so-
new concerns, I'm not going to talk theoretically like a
moral book, but I will highlight a few ways in which I
believe it will have a great impact on students.
VIGOROUSLY PROPAGATE EDUCATION TO
PREVENT SCHOOL VIOLENCE
And this is the proportion of violence in schools that
rises as students get older.
One out of every 11,000 children gets kicked out from
school as a result of violence in the classroom.
Have you ever wondered why certain habits, such as
wearing a helmet or avoiding from drinking while
driving, are getting better and better nowadays?
Because of the result of the drastic coordination
between propaganda and punishment is enough of a
deterrent from many relevant units. Saying "no" to
violence in schools has the same effects. The solutions
won't ever be strictly followed unless they actually
become a movement in the whole school environment
and society. And there might be my children and yours
would become the next victims in the future.
BEING AWARE OF VIOLENCE'S ACTING
I’m talking about our children, perhaps parents are
worried that their children are victims of school
violence. But think about the other way around, if we
can catch the signs that our child is a bully and
intervene in time, it will help a lot more victims, won’t
it?
Conclusion
If that is just a small, childish problem and we are not
sharing to find a method, there will be bad
consequences for the improvement of building a good
study environment in the future. One of the most
important factors is taking care of the mental health of
students. However, to create a safe place in school, we
have to understand mental health and cooperate with
students, parents, and educational administrators.

Common questions

The family environment plays a significant role in the development of violent behaviors in children. If children observe their parents using violence to handle problems, they may internalize the belief that violent people have power, which could lead them to use violence in dealing with their own conflicts outside the home . Additionally, despising, defamation, and bullying within the family can negatively affect children's character and mentality, potentially leading them to display similar behaviors towards others .

Parents influence their children's views on violence as a means to resolve conflicts through modeling behavior and communication styles. When parents themselves use violence to resolve issues, children may perceive this as effective and emulate it in their interactions. Conversations that include derogatory remarks or psychological bullying contribute to children's development of similar hostile behaviors. Conversely, parents who resolve conflicts through peaceful dialogue and demonstrate empathy teach their children to value non-violent problem-solving .

Factors contributing to the underreporting of school violence incidents include fear of retaliation, lack of trust in school authorities, and the normalization of violence. Many students may fear further victimization if they report incidents, leading to reluctance to come forward. Additionally, past experiences where school authorities have been dismissive or ineffective can reduce trust, causing students to believe that reporting won't change their situation. Social acceptance of violence as a method of conflict resolution within families and communities can also deter reporting .

Students face barriers in seeking psychological help due to a lack of reliable support from school psychologists and their wider environment. Often, the classroom or counseling room does not provide a perceived safe space for students who are victims of school violence, leading them to seek support online instead . Additionally, when students attempt to confide in authority figures or relatives, they may be dismissed, which leaves them feeling lonely and unsupported .

Drastic coordination between propaganda and punishment might be effective in reducing school violence because it utilizes both awareness and consequence-based strategies to change behavior. Propaganda raises awareness about the negative impacts of violence, cultivating a non-acceptance culture within schools and society. At the same time, appropriate punishment acts as a deterrent, discouraging individuals from engaging in violent behavior by establishing clear consequences. This dual approach mirrors public safety interventions, such as laws against drunk driving, by making non-violence a practiced habit and social norm .

To effectively prevent school violence as students grow older, a combination of vigorous education, societal movement, and deterrents through evaluation and punishment can be employed. Propagating education to raise awareness on the consequences of violence and establishing it as a non-acceptable norm through social movements can create a healthier school environment. Implementing coordinated efforts similar to those used for public safety measures, such as helmet use and sober driving, can foster better habits . Additionally, focusing on early intervention to identify signs of bullying in students can stop violent behaviors before they escalate .

Victims of school violence often experience feelings of loneliness and dismissal when seeking support from their families or schools. When attempting to confide in teachers or relatives, victims may be met with indifference or advised to ignore the problem, leading to a sense of isolation. This lack of empathetic and proactive responses from trusted adults contributes to victims feeling unsupported and reluctant to seek further help, pushing them towards online support groups .

Failing to address minor acts of violence or bullying in schools can lead to significant negative consequences, including the deterioration of a safe and positive learning environment. Unchecked violence can escalate into more severe incidents, causing lasting physical and psychological harm. It can also entrench a culture of violence that discourages reporting and interventions, making it difficult to establish effective preventative measures. Long-term, this may impact students' academic performance, mental health, and social development .

Children might not perceive the school counseling room as a safe space due to previous experiences of being dismissed by authority figures or a lack of trust in their ability to maintain confidentiality. If students believe their problems will not be taken seriously or that they will face repercussions for speaking out, they are less likely to seek help in these environments. Additionally, if the counseling room is not proactive in building a supportive and empathetic atmosphere, students may feel that it lacks the emotional comfort they seek .

Societal acceptance of violence within families negatively impacts child development by normalizing the use of violence as a conflict-resolution tool. When children see violence being socially accepted within their families, they may perpetuate these behaviors in other contexts, believing that violence is a legitimate means to achieve power over others. This can lead to a cycle where children who are tyrannized at home may tyrannize others, fostering an environment where bullying and aggression are normalized .
