Lyle Simons: “Bullies must be taken to prison for a day so they can be bullied too, then they should apologise to all their victims when they come back to school.”

Bathandwa Dwera: “To better deal with bullying there should be an open dialogue between learners and teachers. This will make teachers and principals aware of what is happening in their schools.”

Petra Munwana: “Bullying affects a lot of children. You see a decline in their school work and they become less interactive. Bullies need to be suspended as soon as they are identified.”

Lucas St John: “Bullying needs to be dealt with delicately because learners aren’t bullied when authorities are around so the victims need protection. Procedures to follow: detention, suspension and then expulsion.”

Innocentia Mpahlele: “For those being bullied at school and outside the school I would advise that they speak to someone they trust like a friend, a teacher or a school counsellor.”

Gosiame Seeco: “Bullies feed off their victims, so when they have not been caught or reported it only makes them feel notorious. Teachers should be notified immediately once a bully is identified.”
