Bullying in schools
Guidance teachers and counsellors are having to work on cases of bullying in schools on a daily basis, Education Minister Dolores Cristina told Labour MP Evarist Bartolo in answer to a parliamentary question.
Referring to a particular case at the Ġużè d’Amato School at Paola, Minister Cristina said the culprits had been immediately excluded from school. A case conference would be called in the next few days, to be attended by professionals of Appoġġ services, with a view to formulating a plan with necessary measures for both victims and aggressors.
The students in the Paola case were receiving services from the Anti-Bullying Unit, and the school had run a campaign to instil a conscience about bullying.

I hope that something will be done soon.My son attends this school and last week he was bullied by three boys who ran after him with a rod as he got down from the school bus, he crossed the street to avoid them and was nearly hit by a car.According to my opinion the problem is that the school bus comes early and they arrive about an hour early so the culprits have enough time to bully.Something must be done before a serious accident occurs.

I am happy that actions are being taking regarding bullying in this particular school.Recently my son got bullied in the same school.Themain problem for all this bullying is not in the school but the long time these students have to wait before the school doors open,because the school transport collects the students too early.These students arrive approximately an hour before they start school in that hour these students start running about and getting into mischief.The culprits have all the time they need to bully the rest of the students.In my opinion if actions are not going to be taken soon a tragedy will soon occur.
