On Thursday, November 5th, the national day against school bullying, the Municipality of Jonquières reaffirms its commitment to the well-being, respect, and development of all children. School bullying, which can manifest in various forms (repeated mockery, insults, exclusion, intimidation, or violence, including online), is not inevitable and can have profound consequences on the lives of young victims.
In the face of this phenomenon, awareness, listening, and prevention are considered essential. The municipality stresses that everyone can contribute to making schools and living spaces where every child feels safe, accepted, and respected. The Municipality reminds the public of the importance of being attentive to signs of distress, encouraging open communication, and urging children to seek help when needed.
Dialogue among young people, families, educational teams, and child welfare professionals is seen as an indispensable lever for preventing and combating bullying. In cases of school bullying, students, parents, and professionals can contact 3018, a free and confidential national helpline.
“"Let's not stand alone against bullying: talking about it is already taking action."
