Partially bc can't "just ignore" cuz I have ADHD
00:00 When children feel threatened: a game
1:05 The viral audio clip that shocked Singapore
Very odd programming here, for example, as where are the other parents or even grandparents here? To suggest that you can merely isolate the child or parent relative to responsibility and accountability completely misses the structural mark. You are essentially pointing the finger at the individual or their family when the problem is both systemic and structural. This is a superficially interesting conceit but the reality is that it completely misses the role of environmental antecedents, like a culture of competition, class, rank, etc, etc. Without digging into these antecedents, the conclusions are not only dubious but in fact disinformational.
4:00 Back to the game: a twist
5:40 What drives a child to exclude others?
I grew up in Africa and my first experience of bullying was my own mother then primary school, secondary school and it hasnt stopped even as an adult by complete strangers. My neighbour called the police on me for just breathing air here in uk and police put ( No contact) between us . I was so happy and carried on with my life
7:40 The science behind emotional control
8:44 A former bully’s confession
Children need to be emotionally available to process and to regulate their emotions. But how many parents in Singapore are emotionally available themselves to adopt good parenting styles, helping their children develop secure attachment?
12:02 Screentime and a child’s emotional control
13:58 Can parents rewire a child’s brain?
as much as I hate to say it, its just human nature. Its generally wired in living things to wanna establish dominance over others to make themselves feel important.
15:50 Bully turned teacher tells all
17:41 Results of brainwave experiment
People are Fucked up Easy

I have worked with preschool children.. The kind of words they used usually comes from the family, yet the parents are quick to dismissed it as a joke.. It makes my blood boil.. Seriously not fit to be parents.

of course lah people will now focus and say the victim was " hurtful" to others, to defend bullies and victim blame. they wanted the bullies to be defeated with flowers, gifts and kind words after an attempt at her life xDDD. withholders of justice. corrupted...
@Kimkanielbecause they havent been taught a lesson and be spanked thats why. if i show up with a parang at that kid's house and cornering him alone, i gurantee you hell change his whole life. a lovely memory at 9 years old :)
@Kimkaniel67 vrooo
@Tiny_bobisblue1:54 OMG THAT'S MY COUSIN! 😱
@Ghostwarrior1111Neurotypical people are savages.
Also these kids are in way too competitive of an environment to be healthy. I am not surprised by their behavior.
this one almost squid game situation hahah
@azharisahar486I was bullied alot in primary and secondary tho i am now friends with my primary school bully as we laugh it off but the secondary bully, i didn't really see him
@ichiko_sakuraUsed to be just Teasing, Bullying is just a new term for an Old Behavior.
I'm over 60 and remembers "Bullying" in the 70s. We were not pampered nor conditioned to overreact to it, so we just dealt with it as a passage of life
messed up singapore stress
@z219-33Why the start starts with 67 it isnt even funny
@Marom40The test is unfair. The brain activity is bound to be lower when watching with the parent because the child is watching it for the second time and already knows what he is going to watch which invalidates the result.
@johnnyboyz-n1zOk
@LYJrb819If I am a parent of the children in the video, I would be so ashamed of them. That is all I can say. There is nothing virtuous about fighting to be in it or being competitive. Virtue is in giving others a chance to participate, giving others a chance to feel the happiness you felt when you were playing.
@SixusInhixMalaysian schools should also be investigated.
@seastar1200I think it must be clear that those who can't regulate their emotions will behave strongly, but bullying is repeated targeting of the same target. They are different. I feel that bullies may have unmet emotional needs. The target may also either represent something or has a specific characteristics. I think I was an easy target because I was socially inept, not tall, not strong, not good academically when I was young.
@pinkpotatoes9849I move school
@annho1639My previous school Senkang green Pri school
@annho16394:34 not that kid doing 67 movement💀
@theamazingsquid712holy shit . Huge shame on the parents who allow an 8 year old to play Call of Duty. They must be contacted
@helpanimals-you know theres type of people who think bullying is a way to gain attention and political relevance. But thats not what were talking about here, natural bullies who reacts to the environment with their emotions, right?
@catoftruth1044speaking of children mimicking adults, reminds me of an incident in my kids school. there was a kid, "Ax" who is rude and disruptive. picking fights, cussing out classmates, raging tantrums etc. Every day a new complaint was handed to the teacher about Ax. The teachers did everything they could but Ax couldn't be stopped. Then the PTA meeting time comes around and I thought "maybe I'll talk to the teacher about Ax".
Ax's mom showed up and as luck happens, sits in front of me.
Well, lets just say even I am afraid of his mother. His mom is very mean. Everytime she talks to Ax, Ax balls his fists. She scared me and definitely scared Ax too.
Bully always exist :/ Last time as a primary 1 I was pushed by a random student. I complain to the teacher that’s in charge of telling recess is over to head to assembly. All she did was dismiss my complain and scold me for being late to assembly :/
@xuanlin6420Also , as a Singaporean , I have been bullied by Pinoys, Indonesians and Vietnamese co workers , mostly because they cannot speak English , its disgusting
@CritterClassroom-heartYES , WORKPLACE BULLYING .
@CritterClassroom-heartthis triggering my childhood actually, anything related to bully is just make me upset
@inifathanahIt's always the parents. Not that the parents are always the bullies themselves, but it's that they have failed to build a strong attachment with their kids and to build a strong neurological pathways for self control and empathy in their kids, especially before the age of 3. Those kids who have a strong secure base and a well functioning PFC won't bully others.
@frenchie.t5737Personally I think it has a lot to do with your surroundings if you grew up in a place with low empathy, aggression and everything bad you’ll raise your child to believe that’s perfectly fine and normal behaviors.. the same with people who are being bullied.. maybe being belittled or not being raise with a strong independence in yourself you might let other set your boundaries for you.. and if that person is the bully type then that child might be an even wiser victim.. I’ve been bullied by another girl in school and my ganrdmother told me I should just punch them and defend myself physically and the bullying stopped lol.. I think telling your child to just ignore it is forcing them to accept messed up behavior from others.. you need to teach them to protect themselves..
@KillertuneskillsmeThis is insightful. But it also makes me wonder: if kids’ bullying reflects emotional regulation at home, how much is actually mirroring their parents’ world?
Instead of only studying “bullying kids”, why not also ask parents: Is there bullying in your workplace? I suspect we’d see strong parallels between toxic work cultures and how children learn to handle big emotions and conflict.
sounds like the result of the "soft parenthood" they don't even have any fear and respect toward adult anymore
my, enjoy those little devil i guess
Kids learn this behavior from somewhere. Usually it is from the parents. Unless the parenting is corrected, the bullying is difficult to end on its own.
@LiveWell6i think it's oversimplified that bullying is caused by too much screen time. is the 3 kids that bully usually just stay at home and watch screen? even that one adult said he become bully because his parrent like to compare him with the other boy, not because of too much screen time.
@extrovert13thats what happens when special rights are bestowed upon certain individuals, preconceived & unconscious biasness is formed at the expense of the other especially if one fits a certain profile.
@Private_Confidential_NAdissection or death? that's not bullying, that's murder.
@markvis4106in recent years when I was diagnosed with pituitary gland damage in 2022/23, memories starts to unfold. I lost my memory since 2014 after head trauma in secondary school. and since then I have been staying at home. throughout the years I start to realise I have cognitive impairment. when I was told I have pituitary gland damage back in 2022/23, my endocrinologist said it was due to being born with it while staring at my mom with it but I had a strong feeling it wasn't, I google search to found that the cause of it was either surgery or physical force. nothing of being born with it was stated in such diagnosis. few months on I dreamt how I was bullied back in 2014 by my classmates. it ended when I got hit in my forehead and eye area. I made my way out of the field with my neck going sideway and nose bleeding. thereafter the moment I got home I fell asleep till the next morning. and the moment I got up, I went straight to school. it was well being run, I told the teacher I wasn't feeling well but other class teacher pulled me to run instead. she would push my back to make me run, but shortly I stopped because I cant breathe, my fingernails and tongue turned blue black. I was send but I kept constantly throwing up for not sure how long till my leg muscle became soft as I couldnt eat. I had difficulty walking. when I sat on the parade square I didnt have the leg muscle to stand which my classmates screamed at me. nobody showed empathy either. my memory deteriorate drastically, I couldnt remember my way home after school and couldnt remember what others said the moment they finished their sentence. I stopped going to school and only went for English n level papers, principal suggested I get tested for thyroid because my neck was swollen and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. since then I didnt further my studies and been staying at home. my endocrinologist kept thinking I have brain tumour for 8-9 years meanwhile my mom had to explained that I have daily throbbing headache which my grandaunt who have brain tumour doesnt have headaches. how I got bullied unfolds when I was told I have pituitary gland damage. when I told my endocrinologist that I finally remembered what happened months before seeing her for the first time, she said that was called head trauma. two months ago was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and just last month I was diagnosed with bitemploral hemianopia, everything seems to be linked to the head trauma I sustained when I was in sec4 by the bullies. because while regaining the memory, how I got bullied by my classmates unfolds in my nightmares for several months until I got clarity. what I got from the bullies were pretty much ruined adulthood. I dont have the ability to even have a job to support myself or my family as my memory were so terrible and also had hard time regulating my sleep. the frequency of memory lapse was at the worse this year.
I lost my memory function and so close to losing my eyesight all because of the bullies from my class back in 2014.
As a 65 year old who once sent a bully to hospital in a wheelchair I am ashamed of my propensity.
@temuchenCuz their parents have no time for them. Everyone prioritizes career and money over the emotional wellbeing of their kids nowadays.
@TheBooty28Should interview Singapore influencers, they are grown bullies!
