A Concept Paper

I. Rationale

Youth of today are becoming aggressive. They are not frightened of the effect of their

actions as long as they are enjoying. In school, bullying becomes habitual. Almost every day

have cases of bullying. It is uncontrollable. The Senate and House of Representative of the

Philippines enacted the Anti-bullying Act of 2013, AN ACT REQUIRING ALL ELEMENTARY

AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS TO ADOPT POLICIES TO PREVENT AND ADDRESS THE

ACTS OF BULLYING IN THEIR INSTITUTIONS to prevent school from bullying.

Joaquin Guido Elementary School, a public elementary school situated at Angono, Rizal

has more or less 3 thousand pupils every school year. Every year, the school encountered

different cases of bullying from the student itself and because the school has no assigned

guidance counselor, it is in the responsibility of a school head to safeguard the school from

bullying or to make the school free from bullying. But due to the contagious behavior of

learners adopted from the environment, bullying is worsening in our school and considered

it as one of the weaknesses of the school. The school has an existing child protection

committee with the school head as the chairman, but the committee focuses only on the

awareness and conduct proceedings on the cases being held by the offender.

Since the effects of school bullying may last well after the bullying ends and even into

adulthood, prevention is very important. There is a wide variety of prevention techniques and

strategies. Parents play an important role in helping their children decide what might work
 best for them. Prevention is very important. The term "prevention" is typically used to

represent activities that stop an action or behavior. It can also be used to represent activities

that promote a positive action or behavior. An effective preventive measures to address the

need of the students are essential. This is the reason why project TEAM-Threat Evaluation

and Management for Joaquin Guido Elementary School freeing to bullying exists.
