Summary:
Trichy: The issue of bullying has plagued many schools in Trichy as there are reports of bullying causing students to take drastic measures to make the pain end. Trichy district chief educational officer M Ramakrishan said that many bullying cases don’t come out in public often and most of the schools didn’t have any committee to deal with bullying. Earlier this year in February, a 15-year-old boy near Lalgudi in Trichy district took his own life because of excessive bullying. Experts mentioned that it would only be possible if schools started forming ‘anti-bullying committee’ so that those who involved in teasing fellow students could be identified. But I’ve not heard of any awareness created about bullying in the school.".
