Stop Bullying in School

In my opinion bullying is always become an interesting topic. Until now bullying is still happen in everywhere especially school. Many cases about bullying happened and become hot issue in social. According to online article since 2007 – 2012, there were many cases about bullying happened in Jakarta. The cases involved kindergarten’s students until college. Based on survey that conducted by lattitude news in 40 countries, Indonesia is the second country with the highest bullying case that happened in school. There are four kinds of bullying, physical bullying, verbal bullying, social bullying and cyber bullying. According to the survey, in Indonesia cyber bullying is the highest case that often happened. It is because as a country with the high population, Indonesia have Facebook user fourth the most in the world so that Indonesian children tend to have cyber bullying.

Looking to that fact, I think it is a homework that should be solve by Indonesian people, especially educator. Bullying is a serious problem. If we do not solve it maybe our nation will be destroyed. Here educator can help by giving knowledge to all of students even adult about the dangerous of bullying. Besides, I think the students should get moral education.

In fact, I think there are still many teacher and school who did not stop bullying. There are still some schools which have MOS (Masa Orientasi Siswa). The most thing happened in MOS is bullying from senior to junior. When I was entered senior high school, I also experienced MOS. There was activity where senior did verbal bullying to the junior (new students) and the activity have permission from the teachers. In this case what I want to ask is does the teacher know that it is verbal bullying. If they know so why they give the senior permission to do that. The school always said that MOS is activity that school did to make new students become discipline. I think the reason is no sense because the fact that happened is senior assume that this event is an activity to release their emotion and make junior students as a victim. So, I think it will be better if all of school in Indonesia especially for junior and senior high school to wipe out MOS and replace it with a better activity such as make a session about moral education.
