Approximately 1 in 5 students, aged 12-18 has been bullied during the school year. More than half of the bullying situations stop when a peer intervenes on behalf of the student being bullied. Bullying can stop with, cease to be a bystander.

Here's how banning ragging is working out for everyone.

Part I - I Am The Teacher

As I walked back towards my home in the evening, I passed a graphic board reading "Ragging is a menace." I wondered if it really was.

I thought of the one kid who'd gone as far as hanging himself because of the unspeakable atrocities he'd been forced to bear.

I thought of the disrespect that, since this 'menace' had been banned, I'd been forced to bear.

But if I had to choose between ending a human life and facing humiliation from the very people I was trying to help, I guess I'd pick humiliation any day.

Part II - I Am The Senior

(Read the teacher's thoughts)

It was a flutter that woke me up. A pigeon had flown across the high ceiling of the drab classroom, bringing me to my senses. Not a bad time to wake up, to be honest. The professor had just started taking the attendance. As soon as he called my name, I answered and without a word, went out. He didn't mind. Our class was a lot better to him than the one that had just come in. In fact, our class was a lot better to almost everyone, including  to us.

I thought of us all feeling abased about not being able to rag our juniors.

I thought of the guys across town who'd been fined 50k for having some fun.

But if I had to choose between parting with 50k and facing humiliation with my fellow batch-mates, I guess I'd pick humiliation any day.
