Bullying has been one of the most common issue in schools

lately. This inappropriate behaviour does not only endanger the


victims, but also the victims' future. Thus, it has to be stopped
as soon as possible.
There are a couple of reason bullying becomes a
common case in teenagers life. Firstly, bullying is sometimes
only considered as apart of the joke, which they never take
seriously until the victim seriously hurts. Unfortunately, joking
around, having fun and playing around is apart of the most
teenagers' life. They never realise the danger of it. Secondly,
bullying is considered as a treat for someone who's different or
lamer than most students in school/ surroundings.
Furthermore, how to stop this social phenomena is
practically not as easy as it's expected. The parents' role as
well as the teachers' in school. The students need to given
some understanding about how bullying can be contagious and
dangerous towards victims and the doer. The campaign for
anti-bully at school is another example that may spread the
word of 'stop bullying'.

Bullying:
A cancer that must be eradicated

A tragic end to an education that had barely begun - 13-year-old Kiki stopped schooling
because her classmates used to make fun of her relentlessly. They had accidentally
discovered her humble background, her father being a street vendor. In another case, 15
year old Dinda could not take it anymore. She became depressed, left school and stayed at
home because she was constantly teased by her classmates for failing in junior high school.

Sebuah akhir yang tragic di dunia pendidikan baru saja dimulai – Kiki bocah 13 tahun berhenti
bersekolah karena teman temannya biasa mengejeknya tanpa henti. Mereka ( teman temannya)
secara tidak sengaja menyadari kehidupan sederhananya, ayahnya menjadi seorang pedagang
kaki lima. Di kasus yang lain, Dinda yang berusia 15 tahun tidak dapat bertahanlagi. Dia
sangat depresi, meninggalkan sekolahan dan tinggal dirumah karena dia secara terus menerus
dibuli oleh teman temannya karena kegagalannya di SMP
And in yet another, more recent case, some senior students of a junior high school took
seven junior students, and subjected them to violent beatings. Sherry, one of the junior
students, was rushed to hospital with bruises on his abdomen. He is extremely scared to go
to school. Julie, a 10 year old, fifth grade student, states that her first two years of
elementary school were a traumatic experience. She sadly remembers being cruelly bullied
by her male classmates because she was overweight. They used to call her Sumatran
elephant, baboon, gentong and many other names.

Dan dalam kasus yang lain, akhir akhir ini, beberapa siswa senior SMA membawa ke
tujuh siswa juniornya dan menjadikan mereka bahan pukulan. Sherry, salah satu siswa
SMA, dibawa ke Rumah sakit karena memar pada perutnya. Dia menjadi ketakutan
untuk pergi ke sekolah. Julie, bocah 10 tahun kelas 5 sekolah dasar, menyatakan bahwa
dua tahun pertamanya di SD sungguh pengalaman yang sangat mengerikan. Dia secara
sedih dibulli temanteman kelasnya karena kegemukannya. Mereka biasa memanggilnya
dengan Gajah Sumatera, Baboon dan banyak nama nama lainnya.

These are few cases out of hundreds of similar cases and the number is increasing over the
time. In Indonesia bullying exists in every form, from teasing to extreme abuse. Even
though incidents of bullying are common, unfortunately it is not seen as a major problem.
A recent survey conducted by National Child Protection Commission has shown that more
than half of bullying incidents go unreported due to the fact that it is considered normal in
some parts of the society. Also the people who get bullied are either unwilling to report it
because they feel it will “make a big deal”. Or worse, they are so scared that they don't
trust anyone and do not want to share their plight with anyone
(http://www.asianewsnet.net/news-34263.html). The issue of bullying has been a problem
for years but recently it got limelight from news media when few cases were reported.

Ini adalah sedikit kasus dari ratusan kasus yang sama dan jumlahnya bertambah setiap
waktunya. Di Indonesia pelecehan hadir dalam beberapa bentuk, dari ejekan sampai
penghinaan berat. Bahkan kejadian bulli tersebut umum, malangnya hal ini tidak dilihat
sebagai masalah yang serius. Survey terbaru dilakukan oleh National child Protection
commission ( KOMNASHAM) menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari setengah kasus buli
dibiarkan tanpa laporan karena bulli dianggap normal di beberapa masyarakat. Juga
orang orang yang mendapatkan pelecehan tidak mau melaporkannya karena mereka
berpendapat ini akan membuat “ sesuatu semakin besar”. Atau lebih buruk, mereka juga
takut bahwa mereka tidak mempercayai siapa saja dan tidak ingin membagi keadaan
buruk mereka dengan siapa saja (http://www.asianewsnet.net/news-34263.html). Isu buly
tersebut telah menjadi sebuahmasalah selam bertahun tahun akan tetapi akhir akhir ini
menjadi pusat perhatian dari media berita ketika beberapa kasus dilaporkan.

Bullying affects the children both psychologically and physically. It is estimated that
hundreds of children miss school every day due to the fear of being mistreated by other
students and in some extreme cases they choose to home school, or in severe circumstances
they stop studying altogether (http://www.bullyingstatistics.org/content/facts-on-
bullying.html)
Buli mempengaruhi anak secara fisik dan psikis. Diperkirakan bahwa ada ratusan anak anak
meninggalkan sekolah setiap harinya karena takut di perlakukan semena mena oleh siswa yang
lain dan di beberapa kasus yang lebih parah mereka memilih HomeSchooling, atau dalam
keadaan yang lebih parah mereka memilih untuk berhenti belajar.

Children should not be living in constant fear. They shouldn't be afraid. On the contrary,
they should look forward to every day of school and enjoy school life. According to a
research bullying has always existed in Indonesian society, but it has come to surface due to
the recent proliferation of media technologies (Craig, 2009). Since bullying is prevalent in
our society it is important that everyone should be made aware of this social evil. There
should be campaigns to increase awareness. Everyone should be working together, against
it, to stop it. It is distressing to see our children being isolated from society because they are
treated badly. I am of opinion that no one has any right to harass or make people feel
inferior. No one should have that kind of power. These children are our future and we
should make every possible effort to stop bullying.

Anak anak seharusnya tidak hidup dalam ketakutan. Mereka seharusnya tidak takut. Sebaliknya,
mereka seharusnya menantikan hari hari sekolah dan menikmati kehidupan sekolah.
Berdasarkan penelitian bully selalu ada di dalam masyarakat Indonesia, akan tetapi ini telah
terbuka karena perkembangan teknologi media. ( Craig, 2009). Karena Bully sudah umum
dalam masyarakat kita ini sangat perlu untuk menyadari bahwa ini adalah salah. Seharusnya
ada kampanye untuk meningkatkan kesadaran. Semua pihak seharusnya bekerja bersama sama,
melawannya, menghentikannya. Ini sangat menyakitkan melihat anak anak kita menjadi
terisolasi dari masyarakat karena mereka diperlakukan secara semena mena. Saya berpendapat
bahwa tidak ada seorangpun yang mempunyai hak untuk mengganggu atau mempua orang
merasa dipojokkan. Tidak ada seorangpun yang mempunyai kelebihan. Anak anak iniadalah
masa depankita dan kita seharusnya melakukan apapun untuk menghentikan bully.

I would like to point out that bullying is everyone's problem and responsibility. If you
condone bullying in any way, shape or form it means you are taking part in it whether it is
directly or indirectly by being silent. Majority of people agree that we have to work
together towards eliminating this problem.

Saya ingin menekankan bahwa bully adalah masalah dan tanggung jawab semua orang. Jika
kamu membiarkan bully, ini berarti kamu terlibat dalamnya apakah itu langsung atau tidak
langsung menjadi diam. Sebagian besar orang orang harus bekerja sama untuk mengatasi
masalah ini.

Some people may consider taunting someone as funny, even though it is anything but funny
to the person who is at the receiving end. Minor taunts can create a lot of pain and
suffering. While it may seem innocent but the cumulative effect could be highly damaging.
In addition to that, as the pain increases, each instance cuts a little deeper which eventually
becomes a sore.

Beberapa orang mungkin menganggap bahwa mengejek seseorang adalah lucu, meskipun lucu
kepada orang yang menerimaha. Ejekan kecil dapat mengakibatkan sakit dan penderitaan.
Ketika ini Nampak tidak berdosa akan teapi effek yang terkumpul dapat menjadi kerusakan
besar. Tambahan pula, ketika rasa pedih tersebut meningkat, setiap kejadian menjadi sedikit
sedikit akan menjadi sangat menyakitkan.

It is highly possible that bullying might happen in your school so it is the liability of every
student to protect their classmates and try to stop bullying. If it doesn't work then you
should inform your teachers or parents.

Besar kemungkinan bahwa Bully juga terjadi di sekolahmu sehingga ini adalah kewajiban dari
setiap siswa untuk melindungi teman teman kelasnya dan mencoba untuk menghentikan bully.
Jika tidak bisa kemudian kamu seharusnya menginformasikan guru atau orang tuamu.

Not many of us think of stopping it. As long as it doesn't happen to us why should we get
involved, why should we bother? But the time has come for us to be actively involved in
eradicating bullying (Farrington, 1993).

Tidak banyak diantara kita berpikir untuk mencegah bully. Selama ini tidak terjadi diantara kita
mengapa kita tidak melibatkan, mengapa kita harus ikut campur? Akan tetapi tibalah untuk aktif
terlibat dalam pemberantasan bully.

So next time if you see someone getting bullied, would you try to stop it or let it happen?
Remember, bullying is everyone's problem; therefore everyone has to be the part of the
solution.

Sehingga lain waktu jika kamu melihat seseoran dibully, akankah kamu mencoba untuk
menghintikannya atau membiarkannya? Ingat, buli adalah masalah semua orang ; karena itu
semua orang harus berpartisipasi dalam pencegahan.
