School Bullying in Korea


In our group, we posed a question, "How can teachers reduce school bullying in a classroom?" I found a video clip that shows how much school bullying is serious in Korea.


Elementary school students shared their thoughts about school bullying.


This video shows school bullying situations.

  1. School bullying is also a problem in Singapore:

    "SINGAPORE: More cases of bullying in schools have been reported in the past year and according to experts, the bullies are also getting younger. Last week, Channel NewsAsia ran a report on how one special needs student was beaten up by his classmates in front of his mother.

    Two weeks ago, police received two reports on bullying.One involved a girl who was slapped, stripped and filmed by her schoolmates. The other - a boy beaten up by his friends on his birthday - had to be hospitalised."

  2. In Singapore, there is a Bully-Free Campaign by Singapore Children's Society.

    They created a website which contains information on bullying which I think is interesting and informative.

  3. In US, there is a anit-bullying month and a campaign " Be A Star" by WWE which helps to bring awareness to the kids and society.

    Think will be great if the campaign can be apply in Korea and Singapore context.
