介绍:
According to a report in Chengdu Economic Daily, some six in 10 Chinese parents tell their children to fight back when bullied.
A kindergarten in Leshan City in the southwestern province of Sichuan conducted a survey among 35 parents to find their reaction to school bullies.
About 60 percent said they emphasized training their children to be tough, while 25 percent suggested their kids stay away from those who bully others rather than answering violence with violence.
Talking points:
