"We will not tolerate, accept any bullying in any of our schools and in our society. What we’re doing now is that we’re formalising a policy that we will take to the highest policy-making organ in the country.

That's a good move. Bullying is an act of tormenting the victim causing him or her to commit suicide just to end his or her agony and suffering emotionally and mentally. Bullying must be condemned .

This is just the sad truth, they don't follow up to see of the laws they have placed is being followed or not. That is why we have so many policies but Notting is working.
