by

He wanted to send his own message about school bullying PSAPP, on the occasion of the “Panhellenic Day against School Violence and Bullying”, through the football player of Ilioupoli, Yannis Andreou.

The 25-year-old central defender said that this problem is a key issue nowadays, while he also talked about what needs to change in order to eliminate this phenomenon.

In detail what he wrote:

“On the occasion of the “Panhellenic Day against School Violence and Intimidation (school bullying)”, I will focus on this social phenomenon which has always existed but has recently increased dramatically on an international level.

Every day we see more and more incidents of this phenomenon unfolding worldwide. In more detail, incidents such as sexual harassment, verbal and physical violence, beating of students are related to school violence and bullying and their transmission through the internet and television is faster, as a result they are part of our daily information.

The fact that such behaviors are perpetrated by young children who go to school to educate and shape their character and personality to be able to cope with the demands of society is something that should concern us all to look deeper. the causes of this phenomenon.

The family environment plays a primary role in the formation of the child’s character, as there are many times when children copy the behaviors of their parents. A typical example of this is the child copying the inappropriate vocabulary that the parent uses to a classmate, to insult or put them down.

More generally, nowadays there are several incidents of domestic violence which are increasing and affecting children a lot. Thus, some extreme behaviors of these students can be explained. So, the parents themselves should be a role model and an example for their children and be by their side so that they grow up smoothly and with as few problems as possible.

On the other hand, the role of the teacher is equally important. As a teacher of the new generation, I believe that I can identify a possible incident of school bullying and act decisively to prevent such situations, as I live several hours of the day with the students and see their behavior and movements inside the school unit. Firstly, within the framework of the school classroom, I should pass on to my students values ​​such as respect for our fellow human beings, kindness, love and team spirit, since I am a role model for my students and the influence I exert on them is large.

If I notice during the educational process any incident of this phenomenon, then in no case will I ignore it but on the contrary I will intervene decisively to combat it.

In cooperation with the student’s parent, I will try to deal with his inappropriate behaviors and help him change his way of thinking, so that he becomes a better person every day. But apart from the teacher and the parents, there are other means and institutions that can help to eliminate this ugly phenomenon.

The internet and social media in general should highlight any incidents of school bullying and how to deal with them, as they are now an integral part of our lives and have a great influence on it. The strengthening of human rights and equality is imperative and we should all work in this direction.

In conclusion, school bullying is a key issue nowadays which should concern us and we should all give it the appropriate importance. Only in this way will we help eliminate this phenomenon and strengthen diversity and equality for all, making even students with special needs feel important, thus showing the way to future generations for a better world in general.”
