Drill 1 Which of the answers below is more appropriate as an answer to the following question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Bullies who are minors should be arrested and put in jail.
Answer
A: I do not agree with incarceration of children for bullying because this is a
radical idea. Children are protected by law, so that they will not be arrested
even if they kill somebody. When adults say there is bullying, children are
just having fun, sometimes with their teacher, and suddenly the one they are
having fun with dies. Also, it is said that there is something bad on the side
of those bullied. I understand it. There was a gloomy student in my class, and soon
some boys and girls started hanging around with him, and he moved to another
school. I think he was selfish and did not corporate with others. I feel sorry
for those who got called to the principal’s office for just playing with him.
Answer
B: I cannot totally disagree with the idea of questioning the responsibility of
underage bullies. Bullying
should not be turned a blind eye to, even if those involved are
minors, and the root cause should be removed. Reports show that bullying exist
at school and children are suffering, many committing suicide. The low
number of criminal cases is due to cover up and indifference in the school and
community. There is no reason for culprits kept at large. Bullying is
addictive, and thus they will repeat it. However, punishment will not reform them,
nor will it eliminate bullying, Rather than handing them to the law
enforcement, we should consult specialists, who will conduct counselling with
both parties and give advice for reoccurrence prevention to the school and
community.
