Anti-Bullying Campaign

I'm happy to learn about this anti-bullying campaign in our country. It helps the victims of bullying greatly. I personally and firmly believe that bullies are the reason why students cannot concentrate on their studies. But, as happy as I am, I am very disappointed, because it is already too late.

Why did I say so? Because that campaign was not launched earlier. Many students, including me, are suffering the after-effects of bullying. And because of that I was really angry at the school's laxity when it comes to discipline towards bullying. The authorities in school have let themselves be swayed by the bully's lies and antics. Instead of disciplining them, they side with them, and instead of helping the victim, they push them further into misery and depression. In short, these pricks tolerate their fellow pricks! They are authorities, but why can't they do something about it?!?! And worse, it is a Catholic school! In my entire life as a high school student, there was no symposium regarding bullying, which means that they are not serious in their disciplinary tasks.

I hope that the Anti-Bullying Campaign will be successful in helping out the victims of bullying. Because as a victim myself, I am really hurt whenever I see a friend being bullied. I cannot allow that to happen!
