The Singapore Children’s Society has been organizing bully-free campaigns over the past few years to raise awareness among schoolchildren.
Bullying is a prevalent problem found in primary and secondary schools in Singapore. In a survery conducted, out of 4000 children, 95% said that they were bullied.
As youths become more tech savvy in this age of increasing affluence, the emergence of cyber bullying has surfaced. Unlike bulling in school, this type of bullying can be anonymous, making bullying even easier to carried out.
Negative effects felt by victims include having low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, school failure and school avoidance.
