At the moment, I can say I am a teacher, and with the little I've seen, I can say these students are learning not just from the textbooks, but are also learning from us who they see as their leaders. Because as teachers that we are, we can call ourselves leaders too since they look up to us. That's why we just make sure to not just teach but show respect, love, tolerance and all.... We shouldn't overlook some of these things that students do all in the name of being prefects, seniors or a bigger student. We should correct them when they are wrong, or else they grow into become a bully. And that is why I would always talk about having a counselor in school, a lot of students have become isolated and they don't find it easy, they were supposed to be learning and feel comfortable, but then they are here learning in fear. Just like what I told my principal at the beginning of this term, "we need a counselor." Well, they keep saying they will work on it, hopefully they will before things get out of hand. Recently, I heard of a school around my area here where a student was talked down,mocked and bullied by his fellow students all because of his sexuality and all.. if teachers in that school let go of such, believe me it will grow into a mob-like behavior that they might not be able to contain later...
So, leaders must be at alert always and be ready to step in every single time, and discipline those who are involved just so to curb such behaviors. That's why a school should have a counselor, a disciplinary committee and such.
We all know religion is supposed to preach love, peace and harmony. I personally believe that any religion that's against those shouldn't be considered as a religion. So, it feels somehow when we see killings and all being done by individuals that we believe and know to share same faith with us... And when such is done and seen, we shouldn't keep quiet about it, they can't claim they are doing it for God and you who are of the same religion as them knows its wrong and that is a lie, but still decide to keep mute. The more we keep quiet, the more rampant it becomes, and in no time it will gain grounds and go beyond what we can contain/control. In short, faith isn't a cover up for evil and it shouldn't be used to cover up evil deeds and violent acts.
