just my 5 cent worth of comment

Life is so good. Student life that is. All you have to worry are tests, exams, essays, projects, pimples, health and occasional 'bullying' (for those who are out of touch with the civilisation, our past, highly entertaining activities like 'taupok', 'pole-ing' are hot topics! Do read...). Seriously, why are they, adults are kicking such a fuss out of these? Yes, I am saying that they are making a mountain of a mole-hill. These are just physical and out of mere fun (personally I dont think pole-ing is fun). You get injured and then recovered. I think the worse is mental/verbal-bullying. Some called these mental/verbal abuse.

I understand the concerns of the parents. Who want their previous children to be bullied? Then again, parents do exercise some form of bullying but in form of verbal. Are you gulity of telling these to your children: "Why are you so STOOPID?stupid la you! %^& Dont know how to do simple things like this.. Stupid!" or "Useless leh you! How can you lose your pencil case!?" or "I dont have such stupid and useless child like you! I must have pick up the wrong child" or "You are pick up from the dust-bin la, not a child of us" or #$(%JCL!K^+, drop that thing, $&@)@ pick up la!". I think these have more adverse effect on the children than the taupok-ing and pole-ing. Seriously, parents should reflect on their behaviours before they start blaming others for causing injuries to their beloved children.
