 WHY IS SCHOOL BULLYING SUCH A PERSISTENT PROBLEM?


HOW CAN A STUDENT WHO HAS EXPERIENCED SCHOOL BULLYING ESCAPE AND OVERCOME IT?




If you are reading this because you once told someone and nothing happened, or because you are still asking yourself is it my fault? - here is what you need to hear first: it is not your fault. It never was. School violence is not "a normal argument" or "just kid stuff". It is intentional, repeated harmful behavior between people with a clear imbalance of power. And it is more common than you think: according to UNICEF, 50% of students aged 13-15 around the world roughly 150 million children-have experienced peer violence in and around school. In Vietnam alone, the 2023-2024 school year recorded 466 cases of school violence, affecting 1,453 students, according to data from the Ministry of Education and Training. You are not alone.


This problem persists because it is fed by simultaneous failures at three levels. In the family, when children do not feel emotionally safe, they cannot speak up. In schools, 66% of victims in multi-country surveys said teachers responded ineffectively, leading most students to choose silence over reporting. In society, a culture of "just endure it" and unregulated online spaces mean cyberbullying follows victims all the way home, 24 hours a day. When victims stay silent, the aggressor faces no consequences. When the aggressor faces no consequences, the behavior is reinforced. That cycle just keeps going. If you feel prolonged anxiety, trouble sleeping, or avoid anything related to school, it is not because you are weak. According to StopBullying.gov, victims of school violence face a significantly higher risk of anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD wounds that can carry into adulthood if left unaddressed. If you are having thoughts of self-harm, please call the child protection hotline 111 right away, it is free and available 24/7.


Enduring in silence is not recovery. Silence only pushes the trauma deeper. Real recovery needs three specific things.


1. First: name the experience. recognize that what happened to you is real violence, not you being too sensitive.


2. Second: find the right person. not everyone will respond well, but one trustworthy person - whether a friend, a family member, or a counselor can completely change your path forward.


3. Third: seek professional support. TF-CBT therapy (trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy) and CBT are recognized by NIH/PMC as two of the most effective approaches available today, helping restructure negative thinking and rebuild self-worth in a scientifically grounded way. The Clinical Psychology Department at the National Psychiatric Hospital No. 1 is a reputable place you can reach out to.


Recovery is not a straight line to a finish point. It is a journey and that journey can absolutely begin today, with the smallest first step: reclaiming the right to tell your own story.

Those Who Live Without Discipline, Die Without Honor by Modern Arjuna

 Those Who Live Without Discipline, Die Without Honor by Modern Arjuna is a philosophical and motivational guide that argues for the paramount importance of self-discipline as the foundation for a meaningful, successful, and honorable life. Drawing inspiration from ancient wisdom, particularly the Bhagavad Gita (where Arjuna is a central figure embodying duty and striving), the book posits that true freedom and fulfillment are not found in the absence of rules, but in the deliberate cultivation of inner order and unwavering commitment to one's higher purpose. It dissects how a lack of discipline leads to wasted potential, regret, and a life lived by default rather than design. Conversely, it illustrates how embracing discipline—in thoughts, habits, actions, and character—empowers individuals to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, build integrity, and ultimately live a life that earns respect and honor, both from others and from oneself. The book serves as a call to action to ...
