Bully in the Schoolyards: an Increasing Number of Physically Violent Adolescent Girls Found in China

Something alarming here!!!  From the Front Page Sections, translated…

In recent years, there’s this sharp increase of bullying in school in China, some of these cases had turned into assault cases that made it to court.  The Chinese government estimates that of the bullying on campus, most happened in the middle school levels, and, the girls became the perpetrators, and, these violent teenage girls can no longer be ignored.

a more covert kind of bullying here…

The Chinese Youth News quoted the estimates of the People’s Highest Court, from 2013 to 2015, of the one-hundred campus violence cases, there were, over eighty-eight percent that constituted as physical damages, and, the rate of death had reached seven percent.

“The recent numerous cases of campus bullying is becoming more and more of a trend now.”, the Northwestern University’s Law Department had conducted a research, and found, that of the fifty-one incidents examined, a single individual was involved in thirty-seven cases, and, it usually happened in the forms of many kids, gaining up on one child.

The investigations found, that these violent acts in school mostly happened right after school’s out, then, before and after the classes.  In the boarding schools, these incidents mostly happened at night.  And the locations are mostly in the dorms, bathrooms, because these are the two places where there is no surveillance, and, at the entrance of the schools too.  What’s surprising was, that the number of violent girls increased, the female abusers rose to fifty percent of the population, they’d mostly used insults, causing serious emotional damages to the victims.  “Comparing to the elementary school and high school levels, the middle school students showed more violence, taking up sixty-four percent of the population surveyed.”

and here, is the overt kind…

not my photograph…

And so, maybe, it is, the raging hormones of our teenage years that’s causing this, or maybe, it’s how easily the children feel offended by each other, either way, this is not good, because the years of violence is getting younger, and this, is alarming.
