oraclefemi: No matter what it turns us into we don't commit suicide . It's not in our DNA to toy with our lives because of flimsy excuses , we Neva die because of money na txt message bullying go come kill man this topic don dey vex me. If my kid comes home with a black eye il give him another and send his bum back out there so that his fear of what I will do to him will overshadow the fear of his bullies and he can stand his ground or better still I enroll him in a karate class . I'm not going to preach to him about being a gentleman all the time otherwise he will end up being a beechy kind of man . If he smacks u smack him back if his parents come call me il come smack them too. If you're from a posh home and all that pls ignore my post my ghetto people know what I mean and it worked for us This is exactly what I would teach my kid. When U get smacked,na to die there.never ever give up or act calm. Life is war. Don't be like Jesus all the time,U gotta act like Satan once in a while |

infonubia: Really? Its not the "bullying" that makes them commit suicide, their life was already on "the edge", EMPTY is the real word! Bullying was just the "trigger" that fired the bullet. infonubia: The picture above is of a 12-year-old girl, Rebecca Sedwick who was ganged bullied by as many as 15 girls via online and text messages. Over what? of course, the usual teen drama: a boy! The main culprit - the 14-year-old girl had been dating Sedwick's[b] former boyfriend[/b]. She posted comments online with statement that Sedwick should "drink bleach and die." The second girl was Sedwick's former best friend whom the other girls influenced to attack Sedwick. It's very sad and unfortunate! Hehehe, l can only laugh! ...but its not funny at all!! What is a 12yr old doing with a BOYFRIEND? Jezzuz! Call me "old fashioned and traditional" but if she is my daughter, l will flog her deadi-body till it wakes up ...and die again! Imagine, they even have "former" boyfriend at that age! Now, as a parent, l cant imagine that your child, who lives under your roof, was contemplating suicide for a whole 13 months... and you have no idea what she was up to? That is why l hate all these shyte about "personal space" that these Oyinbo peeps preach about their children. I reserve the right to enter ANY ROOM in my house[/b] (especially my children's room) [b]AT ANY TIME-tee! ... and conduct "searches" for things l dont even know are missing! (You dont like it, go rent your own house elsewhere but l will cane you wella before you leave sef! ) Does it not show that there is a complete "disconnect" between parents and child? Okay, l understand, maybe she was living with a 'single parent" who unfortunately is too busy chasing dollars or attending parties and binge-drinking? Parents need to be "close to their children" so that you can notice the slightest change of "mood or attitude" when it sets in, from day one. Be your child's BEST FRIEND..... being "firm and yet so loving" at the same time. Put monitoring software on their phone and computer, check what they post on twitter and facebook , e.t.c (at an early stage, you can call it snooping but if it will save my child, then l am a snooper!). Kids will always be kids and they sure need guidance till they can fend for themselves. Its a very dangerous world out there, even more so with the advent of "internet-everywhere" and social networking! (if it could change governments in places like Tunisia, Egypt, e.t.c..... who is that your 12yr old that you think he/she is immune to such forces?) All these "arrests" ....is campaign after election! Too late. But then, we must all realize that "with freedom comes great responsibilities". No one can eat their cake and still have it. ****checks where he keeps his cane incase those rascals of his have taken it to hide elsewhere***** Lastpage! 6 Likes |

redsun: It does no actually make african children stronger per say,it subdues them mentally.That is why you have suppose grown adults running after thieves like tinibu as leaders.They have no mental capability to differentiate between right and wrong,because they have been so bullied to accept anything as children and given no chance to put their initiatives in play.[color=#990000][/color] Some people wil jst make themself an end time commentator.

stillwater: The society is different. Our experiences are too. Even church is different. The longer you stay abroad, your emotions start getting softer too and forget A is Z to us. It's only murder or death that gets an expressive response from us. Then you would see Africans rolling on the floor. You are only celebrated when you die in your violent husband's house than when you divorce him. There are millions of girls in Nigeria that have been raped that just picked up their underwear and went on as if nothing happened. They only feel shame and do not feel that there's an injustice that has been done to them. Take the ABSU rape victim for example. What dignity that woman is protecting is beyond every single brain cell in my head. I'm still annoyed about that incident. See the poverty in Nigeria, and we say we have a government. We are not in touch with our emotional side. We have been desensitized to hurt, pain, wickedness, dejection, hate, strife, and helplessness by the biggest bully on earth - the Nigerian government. We have been trained very very well in a concentration camp Nigerian style. We hardly commit suicide but show our fruits in other flamboyant styles like fraud, crime, prostitution, aggression and the incessant need to loot and loot and loot. PREACH ! PREACH !! PREACH !!! |

The world will know that a few stood against many. Bullying is done by lily-livered people. Once you rise up to the challenge they hide behind their group. One thing I have learnt in life is not to bully innocent people. Challenging group of bullies openly is not always ideal; instead, you work towards isolating each bully at a time and beat them to submission. But how is this a perfect solution? Will your life be based on bully-fighting? We need something beyond human comprehension to fight bullies. We need God's advice and strengthening. We need to believe in our capabilities. We need to distinguish between right and wrong. We need to stand our ground. Just like in the movie 300.....we need to challenge the army of Xerezes, we need to challenge the system. That is the only solution. A seed only becomes a tree by dying in the ground first. Only contaminated seeds fail to germinate. |

May God forgive me for what I did to Oghenero in School.. I gave that boy 6 years of hell. Anybody who says that bullying does not affect Nigerian Kids is dead wrong. I and my crew once verbally bullied a boy (a new Transfer) in secondary school so bad that he tried everything including fighting us to make us stop but it didnt work because I was stronger than him physically. I recall him bringing his mother to school to beg us to stop to no avail. I remember the principal punishing me and my crew so bad one time and it only encouraged us.. The kid had to leave. And I never even knew his name.. I hope he is okay though.. I use to call him E'ze Mmuo (cos he had the most fuc'ked dentition in the world).. Everybody started calling him E'ze Mmuo because of me.. Bullying is bad.. I was the chief verbal Bully in sec school.. I pray Karma does not visit my sins on my kids.. [/b] 1 Like |

Victims of rape over here don't just put on their panties and walk away as if nothing happened. The only reason why they keep mum is because they are scared of the stigma associated with rape over here and being blamed for the rape! Of course a rape victim here will not commit suicide, but you cannot even begin to start to imagine the trauma she will go through afterwards. The empty feelings, the feeling of being haunted, that helpless feeling you get when you wish there was something you could have done to stop it, that had-I-known feeling, that maybe-I'm-only-good-enough-for sex feeling you get when you wonder why you were raped. This can pyschologically affect a rape victim so badly that it destroys her self esteem and a woman without herself esteem is better off dead, I tell you! As for the bullying part, most internet bullies here on NL for instance are actually victims of bullying themselves in their real worlds. Most of them are introverts and this may have been as a result of not being accepted by their peer groups, thereby making them to crawl into their shells and spend all their time online. Contrary to what you think, Nigerians are NOT strong people. We are NOT happy people. We only like to pretend that all is well and because we are religious, and we believe in miracles, it gives us the hope for a better tomorrow. If you want to test how frustrated an average Nigerian is, step on someone's toes in a crowded bus stop during a fuel scarcity period. 2 Likes |

Re: Bullying Make African Kids Stronger But Kills The American Kids: Why by Sweetlemon(f): 9:53am On Oct 18, 2013 |
haulagehandlers: "Strong" is about being able to let go of whatever tormented or is tormenting you. If you supress your pain only to take it out on a stranger who accidentaly stepped on your toes, sorry that's not strong. You see, in psychology, there are different ways of expressing/dealing with pain. And one of the most dangerous ways of doing this is supression. It only leads to bigger more compound issues in the individual. A man who later becomes a harderned armed robber as a result of going through a rough childhood, is actually not being strong enough to deal with his past in the right way. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. |

Bully? Here in Nigeria we call it beating, chancing, intimidation. During my secondary school days, we do beat, chance, intimidate, fight, war! It shows you are a strong man. We don't stay in ss3 class. We stay in ss4 or class 7. Our own classroom where we gamble & do some shits! |
