School violence needs to be prevented from the start.

School violence, if not intervened early, can lead to unpredictable consequences.

What should children do when they experience school violence?

If a child is experiencing school violence, first of all, it is necessary to speak up so that those around them know.

First, children need to share to seek help from those around them. They can share with close friends, then with teachers, the closest is the homeroom teacher, subject teacher or any adult that the student feels confident in. Students need to share, teachers, parents will be the ones to help and also the ones to inform the school, authorities to solve the problem.

Next, students themselves will have to proactively avoid situations where they will encounter school violence, such as situations where friends tease them, say hurtful words, or commit acts of physical violence (physical impact)...

In case students feel unable to confide in teachers, friends or parents, they can call the Child Protection Hotline 111 to get help from the authorities.

What should parents and teachers do when children are victims of school violence?

Parents need to understand that parents need to accompany children at any age. Especially in adolescence and early adulthood (middle school and high school students), parents need to be companions and share with their children. Instead of judging, parents should put themselves in their children's shoes to understand them better.

Parents need to discuss with the school and work with the school to find measures to protect and resolve the incident as soon as possible. In addition, parents need to raise awareness and protective measures for their children.

Each school has a school counseling room, teachers can advise and consult students. When any unusual problems occur in the school, teachers will notify parents to coordinate with families to take measures to educate students. Students are at the age of forming and developing their personalities. Moreover, "first is the devil, second is the ghost, third is the student", so teachers need to pay close attention to students and need to detect unusual cases early to coordinate with the school counseling room, the school board, and parents to resolve the matter quickly and promptly. In addition, teachers must create psychological support for students, so that students always feel that there is someone to share and protect them.

Why is school violence increasing?

Recently, school violence has increased due to many reasons, including the rapid development of the media. Along with that, the impact on children has both positive and negative aspects. Education in schools has recently had positive changes. Especially the introduction of life skills and experiential activities to educate children. However, the relationship between school - family - society is still loose. Due to the development of society, family relationships are no longer closely connected, the generation gap, school counseling rooms and the role of teachers have not really been effective...

Specifically, school education has paid more attention to students, but to unify the school's education with the family and society to have a consensus impact is still difficult. Besides, the media is increasingly developing, managing and monitoring students' access to information flows on the Internet is increasingly difficult.

The role of schools, families and social forces in protecting children from school violence

We think that school violence is physical violence, but in fact there is both physical and mental violence. For adolescents, the neurological characteristics of excitement are stronger than inhibition, making it difficult for children to control their emotions. This leads to unpredictable actions and sometimes heartbreaking events.

On the family side, children are considered the "great work" of their parents. Therefore, there is no reason not to spend time sharing and accompanying their children throughout their journey of forming and developing their personalities. Families need to create common activities, listen, put themselves in their children's position and context to share and accompany them.

On the school side, it is necessary to promote the activities of the school counseling room, regularly participate in assessing psychological problems for students. In addition, it is necessary to raise awareness among parents, students and social forces about the issue of school violence and coordinate to push back the current problem of school violence.

Social forces need to proactively support and coordinate with schools in the issue of educating students' personalities in general and school violence in particular.
