Bullying on this scale should be a prosecutable offence.....punishable in the harshest form. RIP Joseph! 😢
Teachers do bully under perfoming students, they favour those who seem to perform well and shade thoae that can't. We grew up in such school environments.
The poor and under performing always gets shamed, never trully trying to understand what could be the problem and cause of that.
RIP
That is so true. Teachers think shaming kids out of bad grades works. Its more detrimental and confidence destroying
TRUE SESI! I can attest to that. it’s like you bore them, and that pushes you to a point whereby you won’t even ask for help when you do not understand. I remember in gr10 my physics teacher told me how undeserving I was to do physics because I wasn’t performing well :(
and that she wanted me out of her class the following term, and not continue w physics 🤢. she scolded me so hard in front of the entire class, and made me read my mark out loud. she continued to say i’m not a “physical sciences material “ I stood there w a painful heart asking myself what does a physical sciences material person look like?🤨
and unfortunately she taught me until matric, i couldn’t stand her, or going to her class! i was just comfortable with getting my 40% than asking for help
@nellykekana3829 I'm sorry you had to experience that. Instead of lookin for ways to help and counsel you, they rather go lower than the casket to bring you down. I was just an average student and when such things happened to low performing class mates I never really knew how it can affect them until I grew up to understand what's mental health. Most of our teachers are a HUGE contributing factor to depression, anxiety and low self esteem. But you can't tell them that because they are professionals and qualified..
I hope you healed and doing better
@@Tlc_lele true, and it’s really sad. I was also an average student, but i had subjects i struggled with especially physics. thank you very much for your sympathy and empathy ❤️❤️
@Tl...and also teachers judge students based on appearance, they are nicer to de pretty ones
When teachers aren't impregnating students, they are driving then to suicide. Disgusting behaviour.
Years back we read of a child being bullied by peers who committed suicide.
Now it’s this😮 same province as well.
It's unfortunate when people make insults they think so little of it but to other people those words can really stick with them and effect them emotionally to such an extent.
His peers didn't stand up for him and his teachers didn't protect him. They have no right to feel sad, they should al feel ashamed.
Peers didn't stand up, because how can student fight teachers?
@@Born_A_Star They can speak up against abuse, they can organise and protest, they can report their teachers to district/the police/NGOs, or a simple post on social media, etc.
You are right
It is very hard for introverted person to deal with academic stress especially in grade 12 where the pressure is high
ohh sana🕊🕊?reminds me of my high school days and how insensitive and cruel teachers can be. as someone who’s also been bullied by some of my educators in high school, especially in grade 12 i can imagine how he felt and what he was going through 😢. some teachers look down on under performing/ average learners and use that as an opportunity to embarrass, make jokes of us before our peers and bully us. It even makes you dread having to attend their period, rushing for the period to end and not focusing on the actual work but worrying about what they will bully/ embarrass you about today. you get to a point were you just feel demotivated and not wanting to go to school. My hearts aches for the poor child and the family😔. ❤️&🕯
So bad bullying should be ban
Teacher's need to stop this kids are left in your care for hours,an if you as a teacher that wants to bully other people kids, then you should not been doing your job,you choose teaching it's must be something you love also you have to love all your students,this is so sad and heartbreaking 😢😢 parents if our kids can't stand up to such teacher's we have to stand for our kids and do it in a respectful manner sad case truely😢😢 almighty comfort the family and friends surround them with words of comfort ameen.R.I.P.angle
My heart'💔
