Topic of Monday thought club comes from our life at Aarohi – Teasing. We expanded it to “Bullying”. First, it was about exploring what is bullying, we came up with our experiences of – gossip, name-calling, physical abuse, playing a prank, putting down, isolation, rumors etc.
When we did the audit of Bullying on “either I bully or I get bullied”, the individual score was 45 to 55. But the group’s cumulative score was ‘750’!
What I do as an individual looks very small – just one prank or just once name calling. But when it gets multiplied, it looks severe. Left us thinking about our role in the social spaces.
