The answer

The phenomenon of bullying is a repeated verbal and physical assault perpetrated by the strong against the weak. It is prevalent in schools and neighborhoods and causes significant harm to the victim, potentially pushing them to suicide. To solve this problem, all parties must be involved:

1. The bully's family: They must be reminded of their religious responsibility to raise their children and steer them away from bad character, warned of the consequences of their neglect in this world and the hereafter, and urged to strengthen their children's religious conscience and raise them with good morals. 2. The victim's family: They must pay attention to the child's situation and build a friendly relationship with them so that they can reveal their problems. They should visit the school to inquire about the child's well-being, help them choose good companions, and train them in self-defense sports to boost their self-confidence and strength, while emphasizing that the goal is not violence. 3. Parents of other children: Communicate with them and alert them to the seriousness of the problem, and encourage them to cooperate in raising children to support the oppressed and restrain the oppressor. 4. Imams of mosques, preachers, and satellite channels: Alert them to the importance of addressing this topic and warning against assaulting people. 5. School administration: Communicate with them and discuss finding solutions to this problem.
