Former RGS student claims she was bullied, sues school
Article
Cheryl Tan claims that she was a victim of bullying in school as she was supposed to take on double roles in her CCA but was misunderstood by schoolmates as being greedy and selfish. She proceeded to approach the school about this matter but the school took no measures to prevent such things to happen again. She has now sued the school for not protecting her and is seeking compensation for the cost of studying overseas.
Response
After reading the news article, we feel that the school should take the necessary measures to protect it's students. As we all know, bullying can cause a lot of damage to a person and may also leave the person with a trauma. Thus, bullying in school must not be tolerated. It is also mentioned in the article that due to the bullying, it caused the victim's eczema to worsen and the skin on her hand to crack. This caused her much pain and affected her playing of her instrument. Before there is more evidence given in the case, we still believe that a school would not ignore a student being bullied, but we hope for the case to be solved as quickly as possible.
