Bullying - Luciana Cataldi
Introduction
Bullying is a type of violence increasingly common in the educational field. It is an abusive behavior; an imbalance of power which occurs in a situation where there is an uneven relationship in terms of control.
When talking about school bullying, we refer to situations in which a child is targeted or intimidated by one or more children, by means of insults, rumor-spreading, social isolation, physical attacks, threats and coercion. Bullying can develop over months or even years. In that case the patterned behavior is repeated over time. The consequences for the child being targeted by the bullying are devastating.
School bullying can be classified according to the type of aggressive behavior as follows:
Physical bullying: It includes situations which may result in bodily injury. Some examples involve hitting, kicking, punching, pushing, spitting, damaging physical property, etc.
Verbal bullying: It involves all violent actions through hurtful statements, such as insults, malicious name-calling, humiliation, teasing about physical defects or social differences.
Psychological bullying: It refers to actions, omissions or attitudes that either result in, or have a high potential to result in, emotional harm. It involves actions such as exclusion, isolation, spreading malicious rumors about a peer, and other similar behaviors. Note that some authors include verbal harassment as a form of psychological bullying.
Cyberbullying: It refers to any violent behavior that occurs between peers through the use of technology (mobile phones, internet, and social networks).
Sexual bullying: It is any aggressive behavior making use of sexuality to intimidate and harass another person. Clear examples of this type of bullying are observed when gossip or rumors of a sexual nature are spread, for example through homophobic remarks or offensive sexual comments. It may lead to even much more serious conditions such as genital touching of a school mate.

School Bullying -- a Risk Factor
Bullying can become a permanent antisocial behavior and for this reason, several surveys highlight that this way of interacting may lead to different types of juvenile delinquency. This assertion might seem an overstatement, but it appears to be objective data confirmed after having conducted multiple studies.
In his book, Risk factors and Juvenile Delinquency, the psychologist Andreas Hein states that, the delinquency phenomenon is due to multiple causes, both of structural nature (housing, employment, health) and those based on human development (subject, family, school, community). In the case of minors violating law, several authors pose the cause-effect relationship among the variables capable of negatively affecting people’s development.
These factors, according to the same author, have six areas of origin:
Individual factors: poor capacity for conflict
