Event:
Recently, a video of a female middle school student in Jiayu County, Hubei Province being slapped by her classmates in turn was circulated on the Internet. In the online video of 1 minute 07 seconds, a girl stood outside, afraid to move, and was slapped in the face by m-girls in turn, her face flushed.

It was verified that both the hitter and the victim in the video were seventh-grade girls from Nanjia Middle School.
Two days after the incident, the school organized a parent-teacher meeting to inform the story. The students who violated the discipline were given corresponding disciplinary sanctions, and the class teacher involved was punished. At the same time, the whole school carried out investigations on hidden dangers of contradictions and disputes and loopholes in safety management.
In fact, in recent years, similar incidents in school bullying have occurred frequently, and what's more, there are not a few.
A junior high school student in Shangdu County, Inner Mongolia was beaten by nine people.
The girls in Chongqing were so untidy that they were beaten to level 10 disability by five students.
The vice squad leader of Anhui Huaiyuan Mars Primary School forced his classmates to drink urine.
A boy from Yanqing No.2 Middle School in Beijing was discriminated against and bullied by several male students because of polio, and was forced to eat shit.
……
At the end of 20 17, the Ministry of Education and other 11 departments jointly issued the Plan for Strengthening the Comprehensive Management of Bullying among Primary and Secondary School Students (hereinafter referred to as the Plan). For the first time, "school bullying" was formally defined, and the incident handling process, measures to punish bullying students and some preventive measures were clarified.
Recently, a survey conducted by the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Newspaper on 2,022 respondents showed that 59.4% of the respondents had experienced or witnessed the school bullying incident, with males (66.0%) significantly higher than females (52.0%). 93.2% of the respondents expect the plan to be implemented as soon as possible, and 77.7% of the respondents are optimistic about the guiding role of the plan in dealing with bullying incidents among primary and secondary school students.
What are the views of all parties on the promulgation of the "Program"?

School bullying has become a hot topic in recent two years, and the various school bullying events that are constantly exposed on the Internet are shocking. American scholars have pointed out that the school bullying incident in primary and secondary schools will have a great negative impact on the victims' body and mind. Growing up and studying in such an atmosphere will endanger the establishment of normal social relations of students and affect their studies. In terms of specific influence, the victim may play truant, play truant, have psychological problems such as anxiety and depression, and even commit suicide.
The prevention and control of school bullying is imminent, so it is necessary and important to implement the plan as soon as possible. Professionals who study school bullying in China are scattered and uneven, and they are very scarce. Therefore, the implementation of this "Program" will be a long process. In the governance of the school bullying incident, we should also pay attention to system construction and personnel training, and form a long-term mechanism for the governance of school bullying. ".
Associate Professor, School of Political Science and Law, Jinan University, postdoctoral fellow, Institute of Applied Law, China, the Supreme People's Court;
The "Program" specifically pointed out that in practical work, schools around the country should strictly distinguish the definitions of bullying and slapstick, and handle them correctly and reasonably. This statement is in line with the law of physical and mental development of primary and secondary school students. A reasonable definition of the difference between them is helpful to clarify the nature of students' behavior and make corresponding treatment.
It is clearly stated in the "Proposal" that the school should set up a special "Student Bullying Governance Committee" according to the actual situation, and the Committee will judge whether the incident constitutes student bullying, and change the traditional handling mode of unclear subject of responsibility and ambiguous incident, and finally "roll with the punches, roll with the punches"; At the same time, establish a regular investigation mechanism, and the school or a third party will conduct regular investigations on all students to prevent bullying, with a view to discovering bullying incidents that have occurred or are occurring, or to nip possible bullying incidents in the bud.
The right to investigate and handle suspected bullying incidents belongs to the school, and the right to identify incidents belongs to the "Student Bullying Governance Committee" established by the school. Since most of the incidents of bullying by students occur in the school, the teaching staff in the school are familiar with the students involved, and the collection and retrieval of the facts and evidence involved are timely, objective and timely.
What impact will this plan have on the future governance of school bullying?
Jiang Qin (a pseudonym), a junior two student in Beijing:
Verbal abuse among students on campus is not uncommon, and some cases occur too frequently and the circumstances are bad, which has a certain negative impact on disadvantaged students. The "Program" clearly defines verbal insults as bullying, which can protect students who are usually bullied by words.
Sun Ph.D. in Criminal Psychology, School of Criminology, People's Public Security University of China;
A clear concept is very important for preventing and intervening bullying. Compared with the Notice on Special Governance in school bullying issued in April 201June and the Guiding Opinions on Bullying and Violence among Primary and Secondary School Students issued in October 1654381June, this scheme is more detailed and practical. "From' school bullying' to' bullying and violence among primary and secondary school students' and then to' student bullying', the definition of the concept is more precise and targeted than before. The Plan also points out the intentional and malicious nature of bullying by students, enumerates the common means of bullying by students, including body, language and network, and emphasizes the harm of bullying to the physical injury, property loss or mental damage of the victimized students, and strictly distinguishes it from slapstick. "
The "Program" makes arrangements for the prevention and disposal of student bullying, and puts forward corresponding requirements for the division of powers and responsibilities of relevant departments.
