Simulation 2 - Bullying Case
In this second simulation we can see a mother and her son having a bullying
situation at school, the student tells the teacher that his classmates make fun of him
The student does not want to go back to school for fear of continuing to be
psychologically attacked with these comments and taunts. The worried mother goes to
the institution hoping that the teacher will take action on the matter and solve the
Body
Sensitize, raise awareness and provide tools to the school institution and
the teaching staff. It is necessary to sensitize the educational institutions themselves
and teachers, who in many cases lack sufficient knowledge about bullying to be able to
detect it. In addition, although fortunately it happens less and less, in some cases
bullying situations are actively ignored, allowing it to occur without repercussions with
phrases such as "they are children's things".
Talk to the person being bullied. Ask what you can do to help him.
Sometimes just spending time with him/her between classes or before or after school
can help, listen without drawing conclusions. The person who is being bullied may be
very sensitive about what is happening to them and afraid to talk about it. You may feel
powerless and unable to escape the bullying. Let them know that you care about their
well-being. Show that you are his friend. Invite them to your group or to activities
together. Being bullied can hurt a person's confidence, so having friends can make a big
difference. Also demand an apology from your students for any disrespectful comment,
towards you or between them: respect is the basis for ending bullying. It is important
carry out activities to promote empathy in children: if the little ones know how to put
themselves in the other's place, it will be more unlikely that they will make another
person suffer on purpose.
Conclusion
Any boy or girl can become a victim of bullying. Some children become targets of
bullying for being considered "different" in any aspect (hair color, way of dressing,
appearance, way of being...).
We cannot tolerate that being "different" is a reason to be mistreated. Behind this
abuse there are always prejudices, so the victim of bullying should never be held
responsible for the abuse received or asked to change their appearance or their way of
being.
If it were done, it is more than likely that the abuser would find another reason to
mistreat his victim. Individuals with an aggressive personality continually seek to harm
others whom they consider to be weaker than themselves (physically and
psychologically). Therefore, it is very important to root out this abusive behavior before it
is repeated repeatedly.
