Oh my goodness. I think we need to teach our children how to defend them selves.I don’t believe in violence but masama ba kung ipagtangol mo ang sarili mo? Nakakagalit ito?#NoToBullying https://t.co/7selKUMpLr

I have seen the video regarding the bullying. I am not happy about it. I was also a victim of that kind of incident before. Tell me, what should we do to these people who feel that they own the campus?
