A nationwide social campaign to protect children and adolescents from bullying in schools was launched in China this week. It should help 1 million students and their families cope with this serious problem, RIA Novosti reported referring to the information from the China Children and Adolescents Fund.

The problem of bullying in schools in recent years has been actively discussed in Chinese society after a series of attacks in primary schools in various provinces of the country with many victims. Educational institutions are constantly criticized for their inability to prevent bullying of schoolchildren by peers and even teachers, as a result of which psychologically unstable and resentful people grow up, who then take revenge on society by launching attacks on the most vulnerable - primary school children or kindergartens.
