Here’s your sign: Teen gets public punishment by K

According to nbc news article "Here’s your sign: Teen gets public punishment
Mother makes girl suspended for bullying hold poster outside schools" one of seventh-grades girl got punished because of bullying another student. Her mom let her stand outside school with a poster, which is "I engaged in bullying behavior. I got suspended from school and this street corner. Don't be like me. Stop bullying." sign. This is rare case that the harmer's mother participate daughter's punishment. Patricia Mathis,assistant principal at Gardner Middle, said she agreed that the mother have a right to train her daughter. The last of suspension day, Miasha who is bullying another student does not want to hold the sign in public place anymore, but she realized it is the right punishment.



After read this article, I felt bullying is not just an individual problem. There are simiral cases in Korea, which called wang tta. Some of victims suicided because they do not want bullying anymore even though they are just teenagers. In this case, the harmer realized what is fault through her behavior and punishment, but most of the harmers do not realize what is problem. Many teenagers suffer with this problem, also, they are reluctant to tell anybody. Maybe it can be getting worse, if nobody take care of them. Therefore, we have to think about victim of bullying, and be concerned about this problem for our next generation.
