Bullying is a harmful action that can cause many health issues and mental conditions. Awareness about bullying is essential for life-long happiness. When people hurt you or harm you deliberately, they are physically bullying you. You must report such impermissible bullying outright to a trusted adult, like a teacher or a parent. Unwanted touching and inappropriate gestures come under sexual bullying. Anyone can do it, knowingly or unknowingly, even your friend. If you find yourself in such a situation, or know another person in such a situation, then you must report such cases to POCSO, that is, The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. Filing cases in the POCSO act is really simple and safe. Either report the case to a trusted adult, who will in turn file a case, or in case you do not trust anybody, report it directly online. Just type POCSO E-Box in Google and open the first result, and you will get an excellent mechanism for this, which ensures your anonymity, is child-friendly, and very safe and secure. Some types of bullying may not leave physical scars, but its impact on your mind can be profound and long-lasting. We’re talking about verbal bullying, which includes name-calling, and teasing and mocking. Even the smallest word which you did not mean to say, or what you think is ‘friendly teasing’, can impact the person at which you direct them. Making the school a happy place is our duty. Cyberbullying is a type of bullying which is increasingly growing in prevalence. It happens in all kinds of online social platforms like social media, gaming apps, and online forums and discussion boards. Never share any personal details online, like exact locations or addresses, phone numbers, financial details, and government IDs. Not even your school’s name, not any clue which others can misuse and trace you by. For outright bullying messages, you have many options to block and report such people, which we can use constructively. We hope that these tips help you to avoid any type of bullying in the future. Today, the 23rd of April 2025, is World English Day, celebrated to mark the birth and death anniversary of William Shakespeare. Let us celebrate it by reading some English literature and delving into colourful words with vast meanings. Gargee Mahadik and Advika Vijay
