Hindi sapat ang pagbibigay ng parusa para masolusyonan ang bullying. Ayon kay Michelle Bonafe ng "No Bully Program," kailangang magtulungan ang mga magulang, guro, at komunidad upang bumuo ng inclusive environment sa mga paaralan. Gaano nga ba kahalaga ang inclusive school culture para matuldukan at matulungan ang mga biktima ng bullying? #PayoNiDoc

00:00The reason why, for example, others are being isolated, or they're acting out,
00:06whether as bullies, or they're being exposed, or they're being vulnerable as potential victims,
00:11is because they're in an environment where if you're different, you're weird.
00:16It's like there's a judgment when you're different.
00:21But actually, that's something to think about, right?
00:24In our school environment, in our neighborhoods,
00:26not to celebrate differences, and to celebrate diversity,
00:30because there are studies that show that bullies sometimes have undetected or untreated learning disabilities, difficulties,
00:40and because they feel like they're different, they will overcompensate.
00:44It's like, I don't want to be seen as weak, so I'll go first.
00:48What are the appropriate ways of influencing your peers, right?
00:52If you really have a need, like, I don't want to be bullied,
00:55but Michelle, I want to, I have power, right?
00:58There are appropriate ways to do that, like how to make friends, how to be kind.
01:03Being kind to each other gives us social capital, the social currency.
01:08So instead of gaining power via aggression, hostility,
01:12you can belong in a way that doesn't hurt other people.
01:20So, wow, wait a minute.
01:22It's like taking a step back because, whoa, that's a big need for a solution.
01:27And yet, I can imagine, that's what we should all do.
01:31We work together.
01:32Parents, teachers, and maybe it's also important to assure them that you don't lose justice.
01:40Yes.
01:41Because it's not expelled.
01:43And maybe, Doc Anna, what I heard from their desire to have accountability,
01:50to have someone to blame,
01:53it's like they also want, because their child was hurt, to be punished.
01:57Actually, the punishment alone doesn't really resolve bullying.
02:02Okay, let's say that your child will be punished for bullying.
02:07But possibly, it can temporarily stop the bullying.
02:12But it doesn't really address the root cause of the problem.
02:15That's why we are really advocating that our campaign should be school-wide in terms of awareness.
02:23We have to really tap our teachers, our teaching personnel,
02:30all essential people in the lives of our students.
02:34And also the parents.
02:35It's not just that they need to be blamed or that we need to see someone accountable.
02:44Because when we focus on punishment,
02:48we somehow stigmatize the bully who is bad.
02:53And this can worsen their mental health status.
02:57That, as a start, there is a problem.
03:00Because as I said, there are unresolved issues.
03:04Their only way is to do bullying to release those issues.
03:08And also, if we focus on punishment alone,
03:12that can further resentment the cycle of aggression.
03:16So it doesn't help us build up the empathy, the kindness that we want in school.
03:23I understand, that's how we approached it before.
03:27But this is a new, as you said, there is cyberbullying.
03:31The dynamics are different compared to the bullying before.
03:34So we need a new approach to address the changes in the dynamics of this bullying.
03:41That's why we are really advocating for an inclusive school culture,
03:46utilize empathy, focus on solutions,
03:49and then help us establish the services that are needed for this.
03:56And as you said, it's right that it's not just the teacher,
04:01the accountable, not just the school administrator,
04:04but everyone in this environment where bullying happens.
