Abstract Title
School Bullying, including cyberviolence
School bullying is a phenomenon that affects many students around the world, and is characterized by a series of violent acts perpetrated by one person or group against another.
Harassment can take place both inside and outside school, and takes many forms: verbal, non-verbal, physical and/or psychological. It is the effect of one or more factors and has consequences that affect the psychological, physical and mental health not only of the victim, but also of the harassers, who may develop deviant behavior and find themselves in conflict with the law and facing sanctions. To remedy this phenomenon, schools need to put in place measures, programs and actions to raise awareness, not just among pupils, but also among teachers, parents, the community and society in general. They must also introduce measures, mechanisms and systems of recourse and reporting to prevent harassment and protect victims.
The latter must be encouraged to express their suffering and discomfort, and witnesses must also be encouraged to report violence and harassment, while guaranteeing their protection.
