I was bullied by my own class mates unfortunately nor my parents helped me nor teachers each and every person used to judge me wrong and talk to me in insulted way .i can very well relate the situation with sunny you tend to loose all your confidence in yourself one tries to hurt himself /herself .this condition was with me for 4 yrs . and i never wanted history to repeat but same thing is happening to my both sons. the problems lies in education law the area where you live you can send your kids only in that school which is your home school to transfer the kids in another school you need principal recommendation but in my kids situation its the principal who is the culprit .not able to understand what i shd do?

Also, I would like to add that children at this age are also unaware of the ramifications of their actions and/or words.

Sure Sunny's case may be something that's not experienced daily, however I know that my cousin was bullied at the age of 9 for something so small!

Heck, I was bullied at the age of 8 for standing up for a girl who was being bullied, and as a result the whole class turned against me.

So these scenarios are entirely possible :P

I do understand what you are saying. But don't you think to exercise the power one needs courage? You know you have the power...but to use it in school..in front of other students..one definitely needs courage too. That's what i feel. 😊 I do agree that it is not courage alone.

Definitely the bullying boys have some problems which the parents haven't noticed. Teachers should focus on the kids behaviour and just not studies.

Yes..fear of the kid is the food for the bullying boys.

I am wondering how they will end this track. I want them to address all the issues and just not Sunny's.

I am sorry to hear what you had to go through and what your sons are going through. But can I ask you why your sons have to go through it? Is it difficult to stand up to those who are bullying? I am sorry I may sound ignorant here...because I am. Is it that difficult to stand up and say NO to bullying?

Teachers and here Principal as u say have to be punished severely if they support bullying.

Hahaha see I don't look at it that way.

Hurting somebody else...may give you power, but having that power (according to me) is not equivalent to someone having courage..or even the result of someone having the courage to do something.

Courage is doing the good thing and standing up for the bad...

Sorry if I am missing your point here, but I am unable to relate the power from making someone feel inferior as someone having courage :)

I feel the completely opposite, that will put more cross-hairs on me. 😆

(1) Some light fun and introductions is okay, as long as that spirit is maintained. But that's not what happens mostly.

(2) It's not very surprising, these things do happen at such an age.

(3) It's in some people's nature, some can't be changed.

The scenario is definitely possible. Though I don't remember any experiences like that in my school or college life..i have heard many from my friends.

I want the solution to be shown to as what parents, teachers and kids need to do in such situations. It will be a great learning.

Kids can also do bullying getting influenced by their parents words, TV, movies etc where they find powerful people controllling others.

Yeah I guess...I am very bad in getting my points clearly down😆

I do differentiate between power and courage.

I just feel courage can be used for something negative also. Like we say...How dare he did that? 😆

Haha...try and see..and let me know the result.

Yes. Ragging is not that simple as introductions. It goes to extreme cases too as Raavi is pointing out in the scenes she gets.

Yes. sometimes its in the nature. But I wonder how parents don't see it.

I agree with Krani here.

Courage comes into play when you are playing against the odds. Attempting things when you don't have the support. Like standing against something wrong when masses support it. The boys here have Sunny easily outnumbered. Exercising power over someone who is helpless and can't fight back is not courage, but the exact opposite of it. It's like kicking a puppy just because one can. That's no show of courage. In fact, when bullies are confronted and severely opposed, they tend to run and hide rather than fight back. They exhibit dominance only to those who can't possibly beat them. Again, that doesn't shout courage to me.
