A local primary school student shocked his classmates when he broke
down in class and threatened to jump off the building.
The 12-year-old dashed out of the classroom and dangled half his
body out the fifth-floor corridor railing before a teacher managed
to pull him in.
The incident occurred last Wednesday afternoon at a primary school
in Tampines.
When interview, the teacher who declined to be named, said the
primary six student suddenly “lost control” in class and began
crying and screaming, scaring his classmate and teacher.
He then rushed out of the classroom and leaned over the railings. A
physical education teacher who was nearby managed to catch hold of
his legs and pulled him back in time.
Students in adjacent classes were alarmed by the commotion and
stepped out of their classrooms to see what was happening.
After he was pulled to safety, the boy received counselling for
more than an hour that same afternoon. But he seemed restless and
requested for breaks to get food and water from the canteen, the
teacher told local Chinese paper, Wanbao.
“He seemed to have calmed down by then, and was seen laughing with
his classmates and teacher.”
According to sources, it was reported that the boy had an outgoing
character and was mischievous. Parents of students at the school
who were interviewed say they had heard of the incident from their
children.
“The child may not really intend to commit suicide, but was just
being naughty”, said one parent.
Students these days are more influenced by the media, according to
a counsellor interviewed by the same paper. “Whereas before,
children were more ‘innocent’, the kids these days are more exposed
to negative influences from the media”, he said.
They may copy what they see from TV or the Internet, without fully
realising the consequence of their actions. “It could also be that
the child is under tremendous pressure due to the Primary School
Leaving Examination (PLSE), or he could be facing family problems
that led to his outburst.”
He said it is important that schools make it easier for students to
consult their teachers or counsellors at school when they have a
problem.
