幾乎每一個人在中小學時，可能都叫過別人或者被取過綽號。不過綽號這種事，其實並不見得就是一件好事，甚至有時候還會很可怕。前不久，就圍繞綽號算不算校園欺凌展開了討論，這篇雙語閱讀會為大家介紹這一情況。

許多人都有綽號。綽號有時是親暱的一種體現，但有時被起綽號卻一點也不好玩。事實上，簡直就是一場噩夢。

今年11月，廣東省教育廳等多部門聯合印發《加強中小學生欺凌綜合治理方案的實施辦法(試行)》(以下簡稱《實施辦法》)。《實施辦法》將“起侮辱性綽號”納入校園欺凌的範疇。
The guidelines will take effect on Dec 1. They will be applied in all primary, secondary andvocational schools in Guangdong. There will be punishments for those who break the rules, including expulsion.
該《實施辦法》自12月1日起生效，適用於廣東省所有中小學校以及職業學校。違反規定者將面臨包括開除在內的處分。
Many people give their full support to the guidelines.
