Children hide their money for fear of being hit

Surveys by British scientists show that many students must hide their talent for fear of bullying friends.

Scientists surveyed more than 1,042 students from 11-16 years old, found that nearly 50% of them had a special ability to decline due to fear of bullying friends, more than 25% did not dare to participate in activities. school dynamics.

About 10% of children surveyed think their scientific ability is reduced due to fear of friends. To avoid being threatened, 20% of girls actively reduce their math achievement, while in boys the rate is 10%.

The survey also showed that this frightening psychology caused 11% of students to stop practicing singing, 8% did not dare to practice drama, 9% did not practice dance and 8% quit playing their favorite sport.

Meanwhile, a survey carried out in 2011 showed that two-thirds of parents were asked to witness a threatening scene at the playground.

President of Threatening Ross Hendry recommends a threat in school that may cause children to miss school or not to participate in sports, competitions or avoid school activities. This causes children to limit their choices in everyday life.

He said: 'It is unacceptable that they hide their talents, actively reduce their achievements and lose their favorite things instead of having the opportunity to promote their abilities'.

The survey was conducted through the internet from August to October and was published on the UK anti-intimidation week starting on November 29.
