BULLYING
To take into account...
• To undertake ac/ons against the Bullying conflict in the adolescence, it is compulsory to first deeply understand the psychological context of Bullying situa/ons, the concept of bullying and that it is considered a social conflict situa/on.
Concept of Bullying. • Bullying can be defined as a verbal, psychological, physical, online or social behaviour that is harmful and involves the misuse of power by an individual or group, towards one or more people. These situa/ons might occur repeatedly adop/ng the form of HARASSMENT
• Bullying can happen in any context. Examples : The school or aIer school, at the university or at the neighbourhood, in a sports team or at work.
• Bullying of any form or for any reason can have long-‐term effects on those involved including bystanders.
John Paul Lederach.
Why are adolescents more vulnerable to bullying? • The adolescence as any other stage in the develop of a human
being, is a /me in which the person is in constant contact with the environment. Such interac/on in the case of teenagers allows them to meet different cultural, psychological and social elements that will provide them with the alterna/ves they need in order to build on their iden/ty.
• Socializing ins/tu/ons such as family, school and religion constantly impose on the youngest, stereotypes in which they can feel iden/fied or, on the contrary they can feel discordance from what society wants from them, want they need and what they can be.
• When teenagers feel discordance between themselves and those demands, they find other iden/fying alterna/ves different than the “ought to be” established by society. Violence is a way to reveal themselves against what society imposes for them. This is when the take bullying as an iden/ty element.
Arias, Zorrilla (2007)
• Erik Erikson (1968) proposed a Psychological Development theory in which he explained that in every stage of social life, humans experience a conflict, and depending on how the person solve that conflict (either in a posi/ve or in a nega/ve way), the person can move onto the next stage with psychological health or psychological issues.
• According to his theory, the conflict that takes place during the adolescence is called “Iden/ty vs Role Confusion”
• Bullying is not normal behavior or just part of growing up.
Identity vs Role confusion, the main conflict in the Adolescence
Iden/ty vs Role Confussion.

IMPORTANT! Those who bully others do not need to be
stronger or bigger than those they bully. The
power imbalance can come from a number of
sources: popularity, strength, cognitive ability
and children who bully may have more than one
of these characteristics.
