ITE Central Student Seen Kicking & Taunting Schoolmate In Viral Video

Update (17 Mar): ITE Singapore has concluded its findings and has decided to expel the “main aggressor” of the bullying incident.

The other students that were involved will undergo counselling and have to serve community service.

Despite efforts by schools and teachers, bullying cases still happen from time to time in our education campuses.

Recently, footage showing a bullying incident in an ITE College Central toilet has gone viral.

ITE Central student bullies teen verbally & physically

The clip was initially uploaded on the @adminsgfollowsall Instagram page but has since been taken down.

A youth on the left can be heard asking the other teen “what’s wrong with you” and if he “got any problems”.

The confrontation soon turned physical as the youth in white was seen slapping the other student. Somehow, the mask of the student in the black jacket had come off.

At one point, he even questioned the way in which the student in the jacket had urinated.

Towards the end, the youth in white demanded for an apology – which the other student complied – before kicking him before leaving the toilet.

Both stated that they took a serious view of the incident and had identified all the students involved.

One of them had also been suspended while investigations are underway.

ITE Singapore reiterates their commitment to providing students a “safe, caring, and supportive environment” and will not hesitate to take action against those who breach their code of conduct.

The school has reached out to the victim and his family to offer support.

Hope those involved would learn from their lesson

It’s troubling to see students pushing their schoolmates around, especially in an educational institute.

That said, we are heartened by ITE College Central’s swift response to the incident.

Hopefully, the students responsible in the viral video would be dealt with severely and learn to be kinder towards others.
