Stop Bullying!

Fifi who just graduated from the second grade of Junior High School has ended her own life by committing suicide. She wrapped her own neck with TV cable and hung herself until she stopped breathing. It is difficult to understand why she was doing such a reckless thing and died in a very young age. However, later the Police found out that the main reason why she committed suicide was because her friends bullied her everyday by mocking her parents. Fifi was a child from poor family. Her father, Joko, worked as “Tukang Bubur”. It is very often that Fifi couldn’t pay her school’s tuition fee and that made her really depressed and chose to end her life. The violence that Fifi has suffered is not to be considered as physical violence, but many people didn’t realize that most people that committed suicide was suffered from mental violence. Fifi is just one among many other teenagers that couldn’t handle mental violence they got from school. Another case happened to Hendra Saputra, a Police Academy fresh graduate that has lost his dream to be a police man because he has suffered a serious physical damage from his seniors in the Police Academy in Semarang. This 21 years old youngster must be treated for approximately 4 months in the hospital. He said, “I was electrified by them. My hands were tied with a wet towel and they electrified me over and over!” Thanks to his seniors, he has got a serious injury on his head. Thus, his case was brought up in a trial, but unfortunately his seniors were proven not guilty for the case. They were free from any charges and the case has been closed by The Indonesian Court.
