1. what are the standards and procedures for identifying school bullying?

school bullying usually refers to the behavior of students in the school environment that causes physical and mental harm to others through violence, threats, insults, exclusion, etc. the specific identification standards may vary from region to region, but generally include the following aspects:

nature of the behavior: including physical violence (such as fighting, pushing), verbal violence (such as insults, sarcasm), cyber violence (such as online defamation, online harassment), etc. frequency and duration of the behavior: occasional conflicts and persistent bullying behavior need to be distinguished, and persistent behavior is more likely to be identified as bullying.

consequences of the behavior: obvious negative impacts on the victim’s physical and mental health, academic performance, social relationships, etc.

subjective intent of the behavior: bullying behavior is usually intentional, that is, the perpetrator intends to cause harm to others in some way.

the identification procedure of school bullying generally includes the following steps:

1. reporting and complaints: students, parents or teachers can report bullying to the school management or relevant departments.

2. investigation and evidence collection: the school or relevant department shall investigate the reported bullying and collect evidence, including but not limited to eyewitness testimonies, video surveillance, written materials, etc.

3. hearing and evaluation: during the investigation, the statements and explanations of all parties involved should be heard to assess whether the behavior constitutes bullying.

4. identification and handling: based on the investigation results, the school or relevant department will determine whether bullying has occurred and handle the perpetrators in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and school rules and regulations.

5. appeal and reconsideration: if a party is dissatisfied with the outcome of a case, he or she may file an appeal or seek reconsideration in accordance with the prescribed procedures.

2. can a multi-person vote be used to decide whether a behavior constitutes bullying?

it is not legally advisable to use a multi-person vote to decide whether a behavior constitutes bullying for the following reasons:

professional requirements: the identification of bullying behavior requires professional legal and psychological knowledge, and ordinary students or parents may lack professional judgment in this area.

fairness and objectivity: voting may be affected by non-objective factors such as interpersonal relationships and emotional factors, making it difficult to ensure fairness and objectivity.

legal procedure: legal procedure emphasizes the collection and analysis of evidence, and voting is difficult to meet the requirements of legal procedure.

therefore, the identification of school bullying is usually conducted by a special investigation team led by the school management or the education administrative department, rather than by voting. of course, the school can listen to opinions from multiple parties during the investigation, but the final identification and handling should be carried out by institutions or personnel with professional knowledge and authority. public opinion and voting results represent public opinion in a sense, but they are not necessarily correct judgments.
