It’s not a film, it’s a reality

I am pretty sure that many of you watched American films about teenagers and school drama. I think that you noticed that many antagonists act way too violent or rude, they use their force and power to oppress ones, who are weak. People are seeking a punching bag to express their anger and hatred, that they often receive at home. This is called bullying and it is the issue of all generations. Bullying is a type of aggressive behaviour, that involves a use of force or psychological terror, commonly happening in educational institutions and workplaces. There are also types like cyberbullying, gay bullying, disability bullying and etc.

Unfortunately, there is no place in the world without bullying, in Kazakhstan, every third school student experienced bullying and more than 3000 offenders were prosecuted. I have three little brothers. Almost every day my mom tells me about conflicts happening in siblings’ classes. All situations are related to bullying, even though there are undergraduates. It means that since small age kids are passing through with violence and dealing with their bullies. A classmate of my youngest brother is offended by a group of kids, who are throwing his bag, ripping his notebooks and calling him with insulting names. The worst thing about this situation is that his parents found out it not long ago. Adults are too busy to nurture their kids properly. It leads to a deficiency of attention, teen depression, aggressive behaviour and suicide. A kid wants to boost self-esteem so he or she starts bullying. Bullies are usually represented as a narcissistic, non-confident people who need to feel the power over others. It is important to understand that violence mustn’t be justified.

I personally think that all problems with self-acceptance and self-esteem are rooting to the aura inside of the family. Children who grow up surrounded by love and attention rarely become abusers in future. The point is if you ever have kids, raise them with proper values and always talk to them.

I was inspired by a video of The Village Kazakhstan. You can watch it here
