Maria Damali: I can say that I’m not an expert on such issues. I would definitely listen carefully to the student. Initially I would tell him to address the psychologist that we have in our school. Secondly I would encourage him to report the incidence to the school principal if he wanted to. Afterwards I think that with the psychologist we would see if it should expand and inform his parents. In my opinion the psychologist would help the student as much an possible. Now, beyond listening carefully to the student and try to help him as much as I can, I would send him to an expert, which is the psychologist. Nana Diamanti: First of all we have to inform you about the different aspects of intimidation, such as cyber bullying. In all the aspects we can follow two different roads. The first one is to create an environment in which the kid will feel safe. Firstly we have to refer to the difficulty that it is included in persuading a person to talk about what bothers them because most times this person counts themselves responsible for everything that happened. This behavior may occur because of the person’s low self –esteem. So we have to begin by empowering the person’s confidence. It is good that the child does not object , and does not try to solve the problem of its own because it needs guidance. What is more, both parents and teachers have to detect the symptoms when student is being bullied. This may happen with its denial to attend school or it might be more anxious than usual or even by harming itself. When they recognize the indicators they have to talk to the kid and make it feel safe again so that it makes reference of the problem. Furthermore we have to also approach the bullies and make them understand that bullying is an indicator of the way a child is raised and its rituals. It has to be understood by the bullies that this is not the proper way to encounter someone that is weak but by helping them. We want in away to change its rituals and beliefs with advices and consulting the parents because the way kids behave its because of what they see their family do.
