HAVE YOUR SAY — Is your child being bullied at school?

Bullying can be physical, verbal, social or online. Children may become withdrawn, anxious, reluctant to attend school, or experience unexplained injuries or missing belongings. Talk openly with your child and report concerns to the school. Have your say in this week’s poll.

“No. I teach my child that differences deserve respect, kindness is strength, and standing up for someone being bullied can make a life-changing difference. No child should ever feel afraid to be themselves.”

André van Dyk, Rustenburg

“Bullying must be taken seriously. My child should always feel safe speaking to me without fear of judgement or blame. I would also address it with the school, because no child should suffer in silence.”

Kitso Ramogari, Rustenburg
