Human Writes: Bullying CAN be curbed and contained

Bullies are not born, they are created. They are a symptom of the endemic violence and skewed power relations within our society. They reflect our lack of respect and intolerance for others. Photo: Filepic

When something terribly tragic happens, perhaps the best we can do is to try to generate good out of it. Indeed, sadly, it often takes a tragedy to bring about a needed protective reform.

My hope is that the outpouring of anger over the tragic death of 18-year-old T. Nhaveen (who died on June 15 after being beaten up) will drive us to actually do something to prevent such cases from happening.
