A frequent error that many families make at the beginning of the school year can promote bullying. This error is related to the phrase "Don't get into trouble," which parents frequently say to their children when they face conflict situations at school. This attitude can silence the victims and hinder the early detection of harassment.
According to a report from the Complutense University and the ColaCao Foundation, in each class there are two students who are victims of bullying. Additionally, for every two classrooms, there is an aggressor. These data highlight the severity and prevalence of the phenomenon in schools.
The return to school represents a period of high risk regarding bullying, since aggressors choose their victims during the first weeks of the course. This is the moment when the dynamics that can last throughout the entire school year are established.
To stop this reality and ensure that the return to school proceeds without problems, the role played by both school centers and families is essential. Vigilance and open communication between parents and children are essential to identify early signs of harassment.
