Dom Gjergj Meta, invited to "Debat" by Alba Alishani, on A2 CNN, commented on the serious incident at the "Fan Noli" school, where a 14-year-old was killed after a fight.
According to him, quarrels at this age are normal, but "the whole issue is what approach adults have".
"The last event is serious. I don't have children, but at my age that child could have been my child. It is a pain that no one can take away from those parents. It was not reacted in time. I remember when I was 13-14 years old, I had a fight with a friend of mine. At one point he pulls out the knife, but thank God there was a teacher nearby and nothing happened. I went straight to my father and told him what had happened. My father took me and we went to that boy's father. Our two fathers had grown up together. They put us in front of us and said: "Aren't you ashamed? We never spoke while you two do this? Now you will reconcile with each other and we don't want this to happen in our families ever again." I have always remembered this episode. The quarrel happens, because at that age you think you have the world in your hand, you seem immortal, but the whole issue is what approach adults have had. Doctors say that instead of curing a disease, we should prevent it. Today, the preventive approach is missing", declared Dom Gjergj Meta.
"Everything starts from the family. When asked about bullying, I say that bullying starts in the family. If you hear your parent say "that blind, that crippled", the child tends to imitate what you do. So, when he goes to school, he will look at a boy or girl with glasses and say "you're blind". The second is school. Unfortunately, the educational system has fallen and more is needed in education policies than information. You can be an excellent student, but if you lack formation as a person and as a human being... The third aspect is religion or social spaces that help. But these do not replace either the family or the school", added Dom Gjergj Meta. (A2 Televizion)
