    Will Punishing Bullies Help?

    Good afternoon everyone,


    We all have understood that in the world of education, human beings are the main
    actors, both as subject as well as object. Humanizing humans as one of its goals.

    But bullying is one of the things that is difficult to separate from the world of education.

    Cases of bullying that often occur in schools in Indonesia are increasing. The results of
    a 2014 study by the National Consortium for the Development of Character Schools
    stated that almost every school in Indonesia had cases of bullying, although only verbal
    and psychological/mental bullying. Cases of seniors bullying juniors keep popping up.

    For example, in 2020, the middle finger of a junior high school student in Malang had to
    be amputated due to bullying from his friends.

    Even though the bully is still a child, the fact is that in every case that occurs, the bully
    does it knowingly and has the intention to commit a violent act. Of course this will make
    the victim depressed, traumatized, and even suicidal. And for bullies this will increase
    self-confidence which will make them more aggressive in committing violence.

    Allowing children who have committed crimes without making them aware of what they
    have done will only make them see the act is normal.

    This will be the worst example for other children, especially now that information is so
    easily accessible.

    For the victim, the child will become a person who is closed from society and the
    environment. Maybe even the child will turn into a bully.

    However, punishing bullies will not solve the problem, but will create new problems. For
    example, bullies who are expelled from school will be involved in many criminal
    problems, find it difficult to find work and have low social skills in adulthood.

    Criminal punishment, according to UNICEF, actually causes many bad effects for both
    the bully and the victim. When a child is imprisoned, his future has been snatched away.
    Not only that, they will also be connected to bigger crimes, thus opening up
    opportunities to commit crimes in the future.
    For parents, when you find your child acting as a bully, don't immediately blame the
    environment, first look at what is happening at home. Children who are used to
    receiving yelling or physical anger from their parents will act the same way.

    Then, tell children not to worry about differences, such as race, religion, appearance,
    gender, or economic status, and try to instill empathy in people who have differences.
    Tell children that everyone is unique, and emphasize treating everyone well.

    So, instead of punishing the bully who actually makes it worse, it's wise to stop the
    bullying problem at its root before it grows any further.

    Presumably enough until here is a little speech that I can convey. For all the mistakes
    and words that are less pleasing, whether I intentionally or not, I apologize profusely.
