“Bullying – the hidden cause of suicide”
“Debater: Are you bullied as a child, living with an additional vulnerability.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. The school we have in common. A compulsory gathering of all children. In nine years we’ll learn together. We shall go over the vocabulary, solve mattetal and get to know more about the world. At recess, we play. We’re cheering on different teams in the sport, and we get the idols. We fall in love with someone in parallellklassen. When life is tough, your buddies are there. “
“and you’ll see the school year out for most people. But for 60 000 children is this school a long torment. A hell that could lead to life-long mental ill-health or in the worst case, the person takes his own life.”
“mental illness is increasing and is today the most common cause of sick leave. A children a week take their lives in Sweden. In line with the scares increases, increases also the voices that something must be done. When it comes to children and young people talk about the availability of BUP. “
“It is of course important that there is help available for children who have developed mental ill-health. But the focus should be on to prevent kids from starting to feel bad. This is where we must invest.”
“We need to feel a sense of belonging and community with others.”
“When I worked on the Minds självmordslinje had the majority of those who called experienced bullying. During my time as a training officer with Suicide Zero, I have trained people in suicide prevention. “
“Many times, came the call to be about bullying and what it does with us. As the children subjected to violations, to go to school with a lump in my throat and have to constantly be afraid and sad, hurt man for life. “
“We need to feel a sense of belonging and community with others. We need to feel needed.”
“We underestimate how many suicides due to bullying. That gets you bullied as a child, living with an extra vulnerability. The risk of developing depression and other mental illness later in life is several times larger. “
“if you Have a fragile mental health, can cope with setbacks worse. A suicide can happen many years after you have been exposed and expelled.”
“We should really ask ”How are you in school?””
“It’s we adults who allow bullying. ”How’s it going in school?” we ask the kids. We teach them that the question should be answered with the results obtained on the sample or how much time you spend on homework. “
“We should really ask ”How are you in school?”. It should be as natural to talk about. The questions we ask will give a signal about what is important. We need to teach children that the person is always more important than performance.”
“If we are to curb the negative trend, we need to work on prevention already from the first class. Teach your children that there is something more important than how they feel. Teach them to take care of each other. Tell you that the damage to the body usually heals quickly, but the damage on the inside will be left.”
“If you are treated badly, you feel bad for the rest of your life. To expose someone for bullying can even lead to death. Teach your children that bullying is dangerous.”
“In my work as a school counsellor, I work with a class in grade 2. They have been taught that all emotions are normal and that you get to feel and think anything. They have also learned that you don’t get to say and do anything because it might hurt others. “
“We’ve talked about what you can do if you notice that someone is sad or alone. They are wise and it is clearly evident that they trained up their empathic ability during our call. I call it känslokunskap.”
“the Knowledge of how we will feel as good as possible is essential for our future and it must become a subject in the school. We can’t wait any longer. It is time to save our children.”
