💨 Abstract

South Africa faces a severe bullying crisis in schools, affecting students' mental health and academic performance. Signs include sleep issues, loss of interest in activities, nervousness, and unexplained injuries. Parents should stay calm, listen to their child, and document incidents before reporting to the school. Schools must enforce anti-bullying policies and take disciplinary action. If a child is the bully, addressing underlying issues like anger or insecurity is crucial.
