MsFaith:
Bullying has been happening a long time ago, It’s just time for exposure. Thank God for technology and social media.

When them carry fight enter my School, even principal dem drive everybody commot for school. Na God save me them nearly butcher me. Fight dey go on I dey inside class dey sleep. I nor go forget that day

xynerise:


I get your point. Bullies can be violent sometimes.. it is never a good thing no matter what

illmatic101:
Times are changing. In my secondary school days if you complain to my dad about being bullied my dad will asks you if you're the only student in that school.
He will make it sound as if it's your fault for being bullied.

Oleka1:

Nigerians won't allow this bully matter rest until something else happen every body will jump on that one

IKBARUTEN11:

I just tire. Very soon, the hungry musicians go begin compose Xmas carols with bully as the title

jaszplus12:
On one hand, some of these bullies actually picked it up from HOME! Do you know that most mothers bully their kids without admitting it? What about fathers? They are not left out as they too in a bid to show that they're in charge they bully wives and this trickles down to the children.
Let's look inwards, how you treat your kids reflect on them.
How you treat your husband/wife is seen by the children!
How you treat your domestic servants isn't hidden either... Since you can get away with it so also the child who become a bully feels powerful!!

I don't think Bullying us the Issue here. Bullying has always been with us from when School was invented.

Bullying could Mar or Build a child.

The issue here is Cultism. Sly died because he Rejected Cultism. Those senior boys did not kill him by bullying. They killed him through cultist activities.

Secrecy, untouchable by school Authorities, fear among other Children, seaminly above the law. These are few attributes of Cultist Practice.

The issue is Cultism not necessarily Bullying.

delpee:
I was in boarding school all through secondary up to A levels. I never had these issues probably because there were specific laws and school traditions in place to prevent bullying. All my siblings went to boarding schools too.

I remember that my younger brother complained that seniors often took his provision and sometimes his meals. He sometimes had to fetch water for some seniors but nothing really injurious to his health. That was a Fed. Govt. College.

It seems that serious bullying became rampant in the 90s and appears to have gotten so much worse. Parents have a huge role to play in all this. Watch/study your children so that you can easily notice changes in behaviour and comportment. Listen in a loving and friendly manner to get out necessary information from them. (I actually used to enjoy listening to school gists from my kids.) You learn a lot from that and know when it's time to speak to the authorities or move. A distant or carefree parent never gets to learn much till it's too late.

bjtinz:


Very true. A very important distinction which is lost on many people. What happened to Sly is reprehensible and should never be condoned

Problem now is even simple acts of disciplining a child is taken as bullying.

For instance a senior asks you to kneel or 'pick pin' for misbehaving and people now term that as bullying. Seriously? �

bjtinz:


How exactly does a parent bully his children. You mean if I flog my child that's bullying?

I really think some of you guys are taking this thing too far.

TalkTalkTwins:
The heart of these kids are extremely messed up.

Our secondary schools are in a huge state of anarchy, to be honest!

Mindless Brutality everywhere.
Nigeria is morally and mentally messed-up, we are just about to start seeing the results.
