Question

[Nhan Khả Ly]

Read the paragraph and do the tasks below.

            Education is a very important part of a child’s life, and yet an increasing number of children don’t want to attend school. It is not that they find the work too difficult or are afraid of the teachers. It is because they are being bullied.

School bullies can make other children’s lives a misery and their bullying takes different forms. Often they will use their physical size to threaten those who are smaller and weaker than themselves. They will frighten their victims with a beating if they don’t do as they say, often using physical force to take money, and other  possessions from them.

Some psychologists say that the desire of the class bully to dominate the others is a result of an inferiority complex or some personal unhappiness. The bullying problem is so great that many schools have been forced to draw up an official strategy for dealing with it.

Because it is so difficult to get victims to report bullies, and often difficult to prove coercion, many bullies escape unpunished. We must protect our children from this issue. They have a right to enjoy their schooldays.

Giáo dục là một phần rất quan trọng trong cuộc sống của trẻ em, tuy nhiên ngày càng có nhiều trẻ em không muốn đến trường. Không phải họ thấy bài quá khó hay sợ thầy cô. Đó là bởi vì họ đang bị bắt nạt.

Những kẻ bắt nạt học đường có thể khiến cuộc sống của những đứa trẻ khác trở nên khốn khổ và sự bắt nạt của chúng diễn ra dưới nhiều hình thức khác nhau. Thường thì họ sẽ sử dụng ngoại hình to lớn của mình để đe dọa những người nhỏ hơn và yếu hơn mình. Chúng sẽ đánh nạn nhân nếu không làm như chúng nói, thường dùng vũ lực để lấy tiền và các tài sản khác của họ.

Một số nhà tâm lý học nói rằng mong muốn thống trị của những người trong lớp để thống trị những người khác là kết quả của một mặc cảm tự ti hoặc một số bất hạnh cá nhân. Vấn nạn bắt nạt lớn đến mức nhiều trường học buộc phải vạch ra một chiến lược chính thức để đối phó với nó.

Vì rất khó để nạn nhân khai báo những kẻ bắt nạt, và thường khó chứng minh được sự ép buộc, nhiều kẻ bắt nạt đã trốn thoát mà không bị trừng phạt. Chúng ta phải bảo vệ con cái của chúng ta khỏi vấn đề này. Các em có quyền tận hưởng những ngày học của mình.
