Bullying is by no means a children's game

THE MOVIE, BETTER DAYS, which tells the story of a female high school student who is bullied on campus, has been a box office success since it was released on Oct 25. The movie highlights a serious issue. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

People should treat bullying seriously and not dismiss it as a joke or something harmless. Campus bullying involves hurtful words, physical attacks, even sexual violence.

Sometimes bullying can arise out of a quarrel or conflict, but often it arises out of nothing. In quite a few cases, a child is bullied merely because another sees him/her as being weak in strength or character, and he or she is singled out for violence.
