Bullying : A cancer that must be eradicated dan terjemahannya 

Bullying:
A cancer that must be eradicated

A tragic end to an education that had barely begun - 13-year-old Kiki stopped schooling
because her classmates used to make fun of her relentlessly. They had accidentally
discovered her humble background, her father being a street vendor. In another case,
15 year old Dinda could not take it anymore. She became depressed, left school and
stayed at home because she was constantly teased by her classmates for failing in junior
high school.

Sebuah akhir yang tragis di dunia pendidikan baru saja dimulai – Kiki bocah 13 tahun
berhenti bersekolah karena teman temannya biasa mengejeknya tanpa henti. Mereka ( teman
temannya) secara tidak sengaja menyadari kehidupan sederhananya, ayahnya menjadi
seorang pedagang kaki lima. Di kasus yang lain, Dinda yang berusia 15 tahun tidak dapat
bertahan lagi. Dia sangat depresi, meninggalkan sekolahan dan tinggal dirumah karena dia
secara terus menerus dibuli oleh teman temannya karena kegagalannya di SMP

And in yet another, more recent case, some senior students of a junior high school took
seven junior students, and subjected them to violent beatings. Sherry, one of the junior
students, was rushed to hospital with bruises on his abdomen. He is extremely scared to
go to school. Julie, a 10 year old, fifth grade student, states that her first two years of
elementary school were a traumatic experience. She sadly remembers being cruelly
bullied by her male classmates because she was overweight. They used to call her
Sumatran elephant, baboon, gentong and many other names.

Dan dalam kasus yang lain, akhir akhir ini, beberapa siswa senior SMA membawa ke tujuh
siswa juniornya dan menjadikan mereka bahan pukulan. Sherry, salah satu siswa SMA,
dibawa ke Rumah sakit karena memar pada perutnya. Dia menjadi ketakutan untuk pergi ke
sekolah. Julie, bocah 10 tahun kelas 5 sekolah dasar, menyatakan bahwa dua tahun
pertamanya di SD sungguh pengalaman yang sangat mengerikan. Dia secara sedih dibulli
teman-teman kelasnya karena kegemukannya. Mereka biasa memanggilnya dengan Gajah
Sumatera, Baboon, Gentong dan banyak nama-nama lainnya.

These are few cases out of hundreds of similar cases and the number is increasing over
the time. In Indonesia bullying exists in every form, from teasing to extreme abuse.
Even though incidents of bullying are common, unfortunately it is not seen as a major
problem. A recent survey conducted by National Child Protection Commission has
shown that more than half of bullying incidents go unreported due to the fact that it is
considered normal in some parts of the society. Also the people who get bullied are
either unwilling to report it because they feel it will “make a big deal”. Or worse, they
are so scared that they don't trust anyone and do not want to share their plight with
anyone. The issue of bullying has been a problem for years but recently it got limelight
from news media when few cases were reported.

Ini adalah sedikit kasus dari ratusan kasus yang sama dan jumlahnya bertambah setiap
waktunya. Di Indonesia pelecehan hadir dalam beberapa bentuk, dari  ejekan sampai
penghinaan berat. Bahkan kejadian bulli tersebut umum, malangnya hal ini tidak dilihat
sebagai masalah yang serius. Survey terbaru dilakukan oleh National child Protection
commission menunjukkan bahwa lebih dari setengah kasus buli dibiarkan tanpa laporan
karena bulli dianggap normal di beberapa masyarakat. Juga orang orang yang mendapatkan
pelecehan tidak mau melaporkannya karena mereka berpendapat ini akan membuat “ sesuatu
semakin besar”. Atau lebih buruk, mereka juga takut bahwa mereka tidak mempercayai siapa
saja dan tidak ingin membagi keadaan buruk mereka dengan siapa saja. Isu buly tersebut
telah menjadi sebuah masalah selam bertahun tahun akan tetapi akhir-akhir ini menjadi pusat
perhatian dari media berita ketika beberapa kasus dilaporkan.

Bullying affects the children both psychologically and physically. It is estimated that
hundreds of children miss school every day due to the fear of being mistreated by other
students and in some extreme cases they choose to home school, or in severe
circumstances they stop studying altogether

Buli mempengaruhi anak secara fisik dan psikis. Diperkirakan bahwa ada ratusan anak-anak
meninggalkan sekolah setiap harinya karena takut diperlakukan semena-mena oleh siswa
yang lain dan di beberapa kasus yang lebih parah mereka memilih Home Schooling, atau
dalam keadaan yang lebih parah mereka memilih untuk berhenti belajar.

Children should not be living in constant fear. They shouldn't be afraid. On the
contrary, they should look forward to every day of school and enjoy school life.
According to a research bullying has always existed in Indonesian society, but it has
come to surface due to the recent proliferation of media technologies (Craig,  2009).
Since bullying is prevalent in our society it is important that everyone should be made
aware of this social evil. There should be campaigns to increase awareness. Everyone
should be working together, against it, to stop it. It is distressing to see our children
being isolated from society because they are treated badly. I am of opinion that no one
has any right to harass or make people feel inferior. No one should have that kind of
power. These children are our future and we should make every possible effort to stop
bullying.

Anak anak seharusnya tidak hidup dalam ketakutan. Mereka seharusnya tidak takut.
Sebaliknya, mereka seharusnya menantikan hari hari sekolah dan menikmati kehidupan
sekolah. Berdasarkan penelitian bully selalu ada di dalam masyarakat Indonesia, akan tetapi
ini telah terbuka karena perkembangan teknologi media. ( Craig, 2009). Karena Bully sudah
umum dalam masyarakat kita ini sangat perlu untuk menyadari bahwa ini adalah salah.
Seharusnya ada kampanye untuk meningkatkan kesadaran. Semua pihak seharusnya bekerja
bersama sama, melawannya, menghentikannya. Ini sangat menyakitkan melihat anak anak
kita menjadi terisolasi dari masyarakat karena mereka diperlakukan secara semena mena.
Saya berpendapat bahwa tidak ada seorangpun yang mempunyai hak untuk mengganggu atau
mempua orang merasa dipojokkan. Tidak ada seorangpun yang mempunyai kelebihan. Anak
anak ini adalah masa depankita dan kita seharusnya melakukan apapun untuk menghentikan
bully.

I would like to point out that bullying is everyone's problem and responsibility. If you
condone bullying in any way, shape or form it means you are taking part in it whether it
is directly or indirectly by being silent. Majority of people agree that we have to work
together towards eliminating this problem.

Saya ingin menekankan bahwa bully adalah masalah dan tanggung jawab semua orang. Jika
kamu membiarkan bully, ini berarti kamu terlibat dalamnya  apakah itu langsung atau tidak
langsung menjadi diam. Sebagian besar orang orang harus bekerja sama untuk mengatasi
masalah ini.

Some people may consider taunting someone as funny, even though it is anything but
funny to the person who is at the receiving end. Minor taunts can create a lot of pain
and suffering. While it may seem innocent but the cumulative effect could be highly
damaging. In addition to that, as the pain increases, each instance cuts a little deeper
which eventually becomes a sore.

Beberapa orang mungkin menganggap bahwa mengejek seseorang adalah lucu, meskipun
lucu kepada orang yang menerimaha. Ejekan kecil dapat mengakibatkan sakit dan
penderitaan. Ketika ini Nampak tidak berdosa akan tetapi effek yang terkumpul dapat
menjadi kerusakan besar. Tambahan pula, ketika rasa pedih tersebut meningkat, setiap
kejadian menjadi sedikit-sedikit akan menjadi sangat menyakitkan.

It is highly possible that bullying might happen in your school so it is the liability of
every student to protect their classmates and try to stop bullying. If it doesn't work then
you should inform your teachers or parents.

Besar kemungkinan bahwa Bully juga terjadi di sekolahmu sehingga ini adalah kewajiban
dari setiap siswa untuk melindungi teman-teman kelasnya dan mencoba untuk menghentikan
bully. Jika tidak bisa kemudian kamu seharusnya menginformasikan guru atau orang tuamu.

Not many of us think of stopping it. As long as it doesn't happen to us why should we
get involved, why should we bother? But the time has come for us to be actively
involved in eradicating bullying (Farrington, 1993).

Tidak banyak diantara kita berpikir untuk mencegah bully. Selama ini tidak terjadi diantara
kita mengapa kita tidak melibatkan, mengapa kita harus ikut campur? Akan tetapi tibalah
untuk aktif terlibat dalam pemberantasan bully.

So next time if you see someone getting bullied, would you try to stop it or let it happen?
Remember, bullying is everyone's problem; therefore everyone has to be the part of the
solution.

Sehingga lain waktu jika kamu melihat seseoran dibully, akankah kamu mencoba untuk
menghentikannya atau membiarkannya? Ingat, buli adalah masalah semua orang ; karena itu
semua orang harus berpartisipasi dalam pencegahan.
