Reader’s opinion|Bullying damages a child’s self-esteem and, at worst, ruins their entire life.
Helsingin Sanomat the opinion department has recently discussed eradicating school bullying and called for a student safety law.
School bullying must always be addressed. Bullying damages a child’s self-esteem and, at worst, ruins their entire life. Bullying can lead to extreme actions, both by the bully and the bullied.
The greater part about bullying situations in schools are not so clear. There may not be any signs of bullying in the child’s home. In this case, it may take several days, even weeks, to resolve the situation. There is no quick and simple solution to eradicating bullying. Schools must have sufficient means to intervene in all activities that can be classified as bullying, and the discussion about these means must continue.
In Tampere elementary schools, a safety plan and monitoring is drawn up, which includes the school’s plan to prevent and investigate bullying. Schools are obliged to draw up detailed instructions for dealing with bullying and follow-up. The plan is presented to the entire school staff.

It is good for parents to recognize that their own child may also be guilty of bullying.
Everyone who encounters or suspects bullying has an obligation to act according to the given instructions. Parents can request to see their child’s school plan if they wish.
Bullying When it comes to rooting, students’ homes have enormous power, and with cooperation, success is almost guaranteed. It is good for a parent to recognize that their own child may also be guilty of bullying, even though he has been raised at home to respect everyone and defend the weaker.
Peer pressure in the world of children and young people is enormous. Sometimes it happens that a child or young person acts completely against their own values outside the home. Everyone must have the opportunity to make mistakes and correct their behavior with the support of adults.
A child needs boundaries, and they must be adhered to and guided in the right direction. Legislation can be one means for this, but not enough. Every adult has to take responsibility, and that requires a change in attitudes and culture.
