de Jager, the spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni West Cluster SAPS, chatted to the children about bullying and how it starts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will start off as something small, like a push or the bully taking your pencil, but will get worse as time goes on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou must tell your teachers what is going on straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Jager added that children do not know the medical history of their fellow learners and bullying could result in serious injury and problems for the child being bullied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are here to learn, not to be bullied and you need to speak out so something can be done about it if you find yourself being bullied,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">ALSO READ:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a

safety to the children and encouraged them to report anyone who comes to school with a gun or any other weapon, as well as to report suspicious people near the school grounds who they see have weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you find a gun lying around, do not touch it as guns can kill you, report it immediately to your teacher,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The children were also encouraged not to speak to strangers while walking to and from school and advised to walk in groups of two or three, never alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are walking alone and someone tries to talk to you tell someone,\u201d de Jager said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis person may be watching you and one or two days after the initial contact may try to steal you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that boys are just as much at risk as girls.<\/p>\n<p>Maria van Zyl from the Germiston SAPS Victim Support Centre added to de Jager\u2019s advice by telling the children that each and every one of them is special and they do not deserve to be bullied or hurt.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Child Protection Week at Laerskool Delville   police speak\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"
