Is your child being bullied at school? The results are in.

Rentia Swart, Thabazimbi.

Bullying can be physical, verbal, social or online. Children may become withdrawn, anxious, reluctant to attend school, or experience unexplained injuries or missing belongings. Talk openly with your child and report concerns to the school. Have your say in this week’s poll.

Rentia Swart, Thabazimbi:

“Nee, gelukkig word my kind nie geboelie nie. Boeliegedrag moet egter altyd ernstig opgeneem word. Geen kind behoort bang te wees om skool toe te gaan nie. Ons moet kinders leer om mekaar op te bou.”

Lebohang Mofokeng, Thabazimbi:

“My child has never told me that she is being bullied. However, bullying happens more often than we admit, in both private and public schools. Fortunately, I have not heard of such incidents at her school.”
