What is bullying and how to deal with it

This type of violence negatively impacts the physical and psychological health of children and adolescents who, many Sometimes leave a long time without reporting bullying to school or families.
“Bullying is behavior among school-age peers that seeks to disqualify, humiliate and denigrate a peer in order to exalt themselves,” explained to Clarín María Zysman, psycho-educational psychologist and director of the Free Bullying association.
The tears of the young man attacked by a comrade.
“Bullying is repeated, sustained and intentional and is based on a very evident power imbalance built by the group “, The specialist said adding that “it is increasing to the extent that those with more power feel more powerful and safer”.
One of the big questions in the family is what to do after discovering that a son or daughter is being bullied. The key, Zysman said, is to listen to him, “so that he feels safe to say whatever happens to him and never minimize the suffering.”
