A 15-year old boy has been accused for taking gun to school. This led to evacuation and police lockdown around the school in Western Australia’s south. Fortunately, the school principal responded expeditiously by persuading the student to go to an office and talking to him. Eventually, the boy was convinced to put off the gun and was going to be sent to custody. Yesterday, the boy pleaded guilty in Esperance Children’s Court for his act that may cause fear. In the court, the boy’s lawyer claimed that the child was being bullied for years and this was the reason causing this incident to happen. With regard to this incident, Mr. Axworthy, from Education Department, praised the principal and all the staff reacted professionally. He also revealed that bullying was not allowed in schools and investigation had been launched. Currently, the boy stayed in a bail hostel in Kalgoorlie and arrangements were made for him to live with relatives.
In my opinion, bullying causes a lot of troubles in schools. Therefore, it should be eradicated as soon as possible so that all the students will be able to study in a comfortable environment. To curb this problem, the crux of the problem should be found out. Besides that, parents and the school authorities should always cooperate closely to monitor the student’s behavior. Therefore, any change in the student’s behavior can be detected immediately and actions can be taken before the problem getting worse.
