ANTI BULLYING
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Good morning ladies and gentleman
The honorable judges, the honorable audiences and all the participants who are blessed.
First of all let's thank to Allah SWT who has given us mercy and blessings, so we can gather in this nice precious moment English Festival for Junior High School Students 2024.
Prayers and Greetings always send to our prophet Muhammad SAW who has bring us from the darkness IN to the brightness era.
The honorable judges let me introduce myself, my name is Nawal Lutfiatun Nikmah, I'm from junior high school 1 Majenang and in this great day I'd like to deliver my speech entitled "anti bullying".
There is a proverb that says, "Where there’s smoke, there’s fire." This can be applied to the context of bullying. Usually, bullying occurs due to the involvement of several parties, which can be referred to as the three links of oppression.
Firstly, bullying happens because there is those who bully. Secondly, there is those who support bullying. Thirdly, there are those who are considered weak and who perceive themselves as weak.
According to data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), in Indonesia, bullying cases topped the number of public complaints, reaching 369 out of a total of 1,480 complaints in the educational environment, or 25% of the total complaints. In our social reality, bullying resembles a vicious circle that never ends. It appears to be a hereditary tradition among students and is maintained as if it were inevitable that, when they grow up, they will have stories of bullying to tell. In reality, bullying should not be normalized. So what exactly makes bullying so dangerous?
Ladies and gentlemen, we often underestimate the impact of bullying, although it can severely damage both physical health and mental well-being. Victims of bullying are frequently experience low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression. These can lead to reluctance to attend school, difficulty in socializing, problems with concentration, and even suicidal thoughts.
The impact of bullying is truly severe. Can you imagine how difficult it is for victims to go through their days, how gloomy the world appears to them, and how they are haunted by fear?
Unfortunately, victims of bullying often remain silent about their experiences. While it is undeniable that bullying impacts victims mentally, there are still actions that should be taken if we find ourselves in such a situation.
Firstly, avoid problems as much as possible. Be wise in choosing friends and social environments. Secondly, ignore the taunts and insults, as these are just negative provocations that do not need a response. Revenge will only worsen the problem, not solve it. Ignoring it does not signify weakness but demonstrates maturity in handling the situation. Thirdly, talk about it. Silence will only lead to more bullying, so speak to your parents, teachers, or trusted friends. Being open is the first step toward receiving help and finding a solution.
So how can we participate in the anti-bullying movement?
There are several things we can do. Firstly, we must cultivate empathy. By empathizing, we can imagine what it feels like to be in someone else’s shoes, which will encourage us to take actions that can ease the burden of the victims. Even small acts of support can mean a lot to them.
Secondly, we can participate in anti-bullying declarations. These declarations are formal commitments made by individuals, groups, and schools to fight and prevent bullying. By doing so, we declare our determination to create a safe environment, respect differences, and support victims of bullying.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s collaborate to create a safe and supportive environment for all, because every person is valuable and deserves to be valued. Let’s reject bullying and spread love and kindness.
This is the end of my speech today. Thank you for your kind attention, and see you next time.
Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
