Berlin schools in bullying stress: Parents demand immediate measures!

The problem of bullying at schools is a serious topic that is not only the focus nationwide, but also in Berlin. Today, on May 30, 2025, Norman Heise, the chairman of the State Parental Committee, once again confirmed that bullying occurs often in schools, but often does not receive the attention it deserves. He therefore calls for an offensive approach to violence at Berlin schools. Bullying is a phenomenon that occurs everywhere and in which prevention measures are indispensable in order to ensure a safe school environment, such as [rbb24] (https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/2025/05/berlin-mobbing-schule-demer-deltern committee-norman-heise-schueler.html) reported.

Heise emphasizes that schools that deal openly with bullying and seek support from outside have significantly fewer problems with bullying. Responsibility for combating the bullying problem is not only at schools, but also among the parents. These should promote media literacy among their children, especially in view of the dangers of cyberbullying. A smartphone ban at schools is considered an inadequate solution by experts, because there are clear guidelines and joint action.

contact points and support

Students affected can contact various contacts within their school, including school management and school social workers. There are also external offers of help, such as school psychological and inclusion-pedagogical consulting and support centers (SiBuz) in every district. In addition, online portals and help telephones such as the "Number against Kummer" (116 111) or the parents' phone (0800 111 0 550) support parents and children in crisis situations. Heise emphasizes the importance of acting quickly in bullying incidents to help the affected students.

bullying in schools is a widespread problem that affects millions of students worldwide. The various forms that can take on bullying include verbal, physical, social affairs and cyberbullying. The consequences are serious and include low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and even suicide or suicide thoughts, such as [Mobbing-in-inchulen.de] (https://mobbing-in-schulen.de/praeVereiVERNE- GOSEN-ISTHER-SCHOUSEN-PRAVAVEMAME/).

prevention measures for a safe school environment

A comprehensive school -wide approach to bullying prevention is urgently necessary. This should not only include students and teachers, but also parents and administrators. The recommended measures include:

  • clear anti-bullying guidelines that define bullying in all its forms and determine procedures for reporting incidents.
  • Promotion of a positive school atmosphere through inclusive events and programs for empathy promotion.
  • Programs for social-emotional learning (SEL) to develop emotional and communicative skills.
  • training for teachers to recognize bullying signals and act in good time.
  • Open communication between parents, students and teachers to create trust and offer more effective support.

A common, preventive action is the key to a safe and supportive school environment in which students can learn without fear of exclusion or harassment.
