In Part 1 of this series, we confronted the horror, heartbreak, and public outrage following the recent cases of violence and school bullying here in Malaysia. In Part 2, we look beyond the grief — at the conversations, workshops, and quiet courage of teachers and parents trying to heal a wounded system. From the UNITAR–JPN mental-health session to real stories from classrooms and homes, this is where empathy meets action.
School bullying has long crossed the line from childish cruelty to a national crisis. As a mother of four sons — two of whom are neurodiverse — and as a journalist, I can no longer read these stories with newsroom detachment. Every headline feels like a wound. Tears flow when I am writing this.
