It is absolutely disgusting, nothing is being done to punish these bullies. The fact that the man admitted to bullying and is not regretful of any of his horrific actions appalls me.

Absolutely disgusting that girls at 8 years of age would bully a classmate for befriending other kids with disabilities. What’s really disgusting are the parents who taught them to have such callous attitudes towards people with disabilities. She had empathy and saw them as humans, not just their disabilities. The man in his 30s states exactly what’s wrong with South Korean society. His parents and teachers never reprimanded him for beating and injuring students. His mentality was that there’s a clear divide between the bullies and victims and he was glad to be on the abusing side rather than a victim. What a sickening mentality, psychopathic. He was spared being accountable because his family had money and social status. Basically rich psychopaths grooming their children to be the same. Money only amplifies who you really are, it doesn’t make you better than others in any way. For him, money only made him a more despicable human.

[@tormint5294]

Little kids can be monsters. My cousins had a murder case at their school. The culprit was a bully who set his sights on a kid known to be kind and unproblematic, with no motive. Then one day he lured him out onto an abandoned building where he acted out a pre-planned, painfully cruel attack on him that led to the victim's death. They were elementary kids afaik

[@castorcreations1760]

@@tormint5294 Bro, this is so sad. I really can't imagine the pain that the parents are going through. What happened to the bully kid and his parents? Are there any information? It's embarassing to ask this, but I feel nad not knowing if something at least happened to do justice to the poor kid soul.

[@tormint5294]

@@castorcreations1760 The victim's family apparently stated that they're somewhat satisfied with the ruling and hope to finally get some peace from all this with it. The culprit got sentenced to ten years in juvenile prison. And I think there was a mention that they're investigating the potential involvement of an accomplice. Aside from that my grandma told me the 2 families (of victim and culprit) are in contact and supporting each other. Other than that I don't have much info on the family, since I don't live in town and I didn't bother digging deeper when I was at my grandma's place and she told me about it. Additional info I found through articles is that there's still no motive to be found. And that the culprit had a put letters into neighbor's kid's letterboxes prior to all this. In the letters he had threatened to explode their houses or hurt the children living in said houses, if he didn't receive money (attempt at blackmail). Initially the victim didn't show up back at home, so the father reported him as missing. The culprit then turned himself in, confessing that he had killed and hid the missing kid. The articles make a point out of how quiet the culprit has been since. The articles say that, other than showing remorse and apologizing, the culprit's been very silent and shut close about the case. I honestly wonder if it was an elaborate plot or if he "accidentally" took "bullying" too far, not realizing that actions lead to consequences. I'm not even certain if he's of age to truly understand the gravity of the situation.

[@castorcreations1760]

@@tormint5294 thanks for the information. It's absolutely terrifying to imagine a kid taking another kid life. The kid certainly has mental problems (if not before the act, certainly after what happened) and gonna need to be watched very closely by professionals. I hope that the 2 families can find peace. What a tragic situation. Im happy that never witnessed agressive bullies in my life, and even protected some people in my school times.

This kind of acts has been on going for thousands of years in Korea. I used to stay with Korean people during my studies in Japan, so I know them enough. To us, it is bullying but to Korean, it is just their culture, their pride and everyday lifestyle. The senior has the right to bully the junior. The rich can bully the poor. The one with authority can bully the ordinary people. Their showbiz is also terrible, with many movie directors requiring actresses to sleep with them or their friends on a regular basis if they wanted to be in their movies, hence many Korean actresses committed suicide.

I was bullied the 1st year in the U.S.A. Most of mine was after school. where I would get beat up and called names. My father taught me how too defend myself and both my Parents taught me good morale's. Never ever start a fight but never back down either , you may lose but after a while they get tired of someone that fights back. especially if you hurt them, I will admit that I thought these guys are gong too kill me, I a black or a swollen lip most of my 6th grade year. They though I was getting abused at home, my Parents told the school I was getting Bullied and beat up. just about everyday. . They asked who was doing it, I refused too say. Then 1 day 2 of the Bullies after they beat me up and I gave each 1 of them a black eye. Told me and everyone else that anyone messed with me messed with them. I then took Karate and self defense classes , I never ever bullied anyone, matter of fact several kids that I did notice getting bullied I asked them to sit at my lunch table. And the bulling would stop . I remember telling a bunch of jocks 1 time . I wonder how you would like if I bullied you everyday, and you guys know Me and who I know, and what I can do. They did not bother the young man again. I did not fight these guys or harass them either.

[@poushiar1013]

Just to answer your question, most of the times the bullies are in gang and they have higher authority over the victims. They have upper class bullies and school backing them up. The seniority system is also a leading factor (having to respect and act differently with your seniors). If you research about the extreme cases of bullying there, you will see the police and school did nothing in all the cases and let the bullies go as if nothing happened. Also, take into consideration that S.K society is different and people in general are taught to act respectfully and not emotionally even in extreme situations. Collectively if everyone in the class fights back against the group of bullies then might something happen. (Just my opinion and perspective about the whole issue).

I ignored her and didn't acknowledge her. From my point of view, she was in the wrong and she had no power or authority over me. This is probably why she was so incensed.

The bullying is not limited to children by other children. Bullying is as much done by parents to teachers. Teachers who show concern and try to intervene and judicate matters impartially and fairly and protect the bullied children, get bullied by the bully's parents, who claim they are unfairly targeting their bullying child. The parents' concerns are just for the reputation of their own child and not the truth and reality of the matter. And the school authorities are only interested in pleasing the parents. The only way this stops is if there will be a month long strike. Teachers have got to show the parents that they too have power...

Just as a general observation I never get it when people say South Korean parents are so strict with their kids. I have this idea that they are slacking in the education part and let kids do whatever they want, however they want. They either smother them or don't even try to reprimand them. I think kids who never learn that their behavior is unacceptable will never grow up to be functioning adults. I do agree that hierarchy also plays a big role in this because a lot of South Korean teens/young adults look up to fame, money and material goods and in SK it is evident that being rich gets you further in life. It breaks my heart to see the mother who lost her son. How can It be a punishment to destroy someone's life and having to clean the classroom or write an insincere apology letter?

Parents should teach their kids when they are at a toddler age not to bully others, parents are the problem

Best way is to take revenge on bullies when they r at their peak in their lives just expose them and shun them from society !! Moon dong eun route is the best

[@pv1149]

yeah same idea

[@Eight_Letters]

Bullying is a common problem that is prevalent in schools worldwide and is particularly severe in impoverished areas. I believe that implementing a more effective strategy is crucial. For example, rather than excessively sheltering and indulging our children with an abundance of love, we should expose them to controlled challenges and moderate hardship from a young age. This approach can aid in developing resilience, particularly in situations like bullying.

I have OCD. I have symmetry OCD. Can OCD be characterized as an extreme form of perfectionism where anything can lead to anxiety, fear, and distress? Could you be my friend? ❤ Now, the world can be a nasty crazy place out there, We cannot control what happens but we can use what happens. We have so much reserves of love and support inside us, if we can just remember that in our mind and move on.

The residents of Al-Attawia are looking for fifty-one of their sons and the pleasure of their liver, who were lost in an illegal secret trip that started from the city of Agadir twelve days ago, and no trace appeared to them until this writing in front of the silence of the Moroccan authorities on this disaster

Growing up bullying was very normal, you had to be strong, there was no one to protect you, you had to grow up fast, I think everyone has had a bully at one point or another 😊

[@hazelmint6671]

True I also had a group of girls mock me and block me from leaving the transport, because I didn't leave their desired window seat, but that was it. It was only verbal bullying. In Korea the student bully literally physically assualts the victim. I think this is because of impossibly high academic expections and societal pressure to succeed and be attractive at the same time, not to mention bullies not getting the proper consequences for their actions, due to their family's power/money. Something has to change for a better, functioning society.

[@karamelpuddingmakaroni2991]

Bullies bully because they have the power and money to back them. The principal, teacher or police dont dare go against them cause their parents back them up and never admit their kid is at fault. That would we a scar in their social standing and power there comes before anything else. I mean I didnt once hear anyone getting expelled but I know they have it at every school. Im sorry to say but bullying will never stop there and only Get Worse cause what these bullies need is conseling and a psychologist.

As a SE Asian I lived in S Korea for 6 years and also the US and Japan, Taiwan. S Korea is by far the most racist country I ever lived in....way worse than US its not even comparable how much more racist S Korea is... Taiwan and Japan are nice countries with good people though, I never felt racism there.

That’s why you need to be more and more aggressive and have a group of men in your family protecting and defending you ( and if you don’t have a lot of men in your family, outside your family then)
