In this post we commented that conflicts and bad relationships between classmates do not have to be bullying, although if they are not managed well they can (I say "can") lead to bullying, especially if there is a visible victim of the behaviors of others.
A physical aggression, an insult, a comment through the Social Networks, they don't have to be pointed out as bullying, but beware! why if they occur repeatedly, against the same (or same) people, adults should consider acting.
Insults? Yes, I said that: an insult can be offensive, degrading, the recipient may not have any effect (obviously if they insult him every day is something else). But insults can also be considered bullying.
And they can be considered both if they are received in the hall of the Institute, as if they arrive in the form of a message on the phone
As we saw in this video, if the situation occurs among adults we are clear that it is harassment. In the same way, to those who insulted colleagues in an office (calling them losers, delayed, useless, etc.), the boss would call their attention or admonish them, right? Well, that's it, I don't need to tell you anything else.
That students should know that they can complain if they are repeatedly offended, is something to keep in mind (and put into practice). That we should "demand" our children to have a civic and respectful behavior with others, it should be clear, and it isn't always.
Because what happens to the boy in the video is that he ends up developing learned helplessness, and stops believing that he can influence external events. And that although "only" are insults (between quotation marks to highlight the word, and to make it appear that adults often see it that way), they hurt.
