FERNANDES, Grazielli y DELL’AGLIO, Débora Dalbosco. MYTHS ABOUT BULLYING: WHAT DOES THE SCIENCE SAY?. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.69, pp.187-201. Epub 17-Ago-2023. ISSN 2358-0194. https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2023.v32.n69.p187-201.
Since the 19th century, bullying has been studied all over the world and, over time, its nomenclature and definitions have undergone changes. It is a complex social phenomenon, characterized by intentional and repetitive aggressions, practiced by a person or a group against one or more victims with difficulties to defend themselves. While the scientific community has dedicated itself to studying bullying, there are, in common sense, many myths that minimize it and, at times, prevent the adoption of measures to prevent it. Thus, this theoretical essay aims to analyze myths surrounding the phenomenon of bullying, discussing them based on scientific studies on the subject. The need to implement antibullying programs in all schools is reinforced, with investment and interest from the government and society. It is concluded that myths only reinforce stereotypes and prevent the adoption of effective prevention measures.
