Be a buddy, not a Bully
By Jemima Nano

of cases brought and resolved in her office. Out of 10 cases, at least six are concerned with any of these types of bullying –
physical, verbal, social, gender-based and cyber. This shows that bullying is rampant in the school.
(2 Heading the types of bullying that take place in the campus is physical bullying. Students always find themselves
entangled with other students through fist fighting, kicking, pushing, hitting in the parts of the body or just hurting another. It

properties and stealing belongings.
(3 Verbal bullying includes name calling or insulting someone because of his/her physical characteristics such as their weight
or height, or other attributes including tribal affiliation, culture, religion and sexuality (gender
preference). Verbal bullying often results to quarrels which leads physically hurting one another.
(4 Social bullying, on the other hand, includes consistently leaving someone out on purpose, spreading rumors,
embarrassing someone in public, and sharing information or images that will have a harmful effect on the other person.
Cyber bullying is more of an off shoot of social bullying. It involves the use of gadgets like computers and mobile phones

teen.

South Korea, together with Japan and the United States, held a joint aerial exercise near the Korean
peninsula on Sunday, the South Korean military said, marking the first such collaboration between the
three countries.
The drill aimed to expand the countries’ response capabilities against North Korea’s nuclear and missile
threats, South Korea’s air force said in a statement.
It involved a U.S. B-52 strategic bomber as well as fighter jets of the three nations.
At the Camp David summit in August, leaders of Japan, South Korea and the United States agreed to
carry out annual, multi-domain trilateral exercises and set up a hot line for crisis communications.
The aerial exercise is the latest effort by Washington and its two Asian allies to strengthen ties in the
face of tensions with North Korea and China’s influence in the region.
Also on Sunday, South Korean and U.S. navies completed a joint anti-submarine exercise called Silent
Shark, the South Korean navy said.
