Speaking about Bullism in which are hidden also the words aggressors and victims, bring us to speak more about violence. After gathering a quite large sum of information about the concrete matter, the project coordinator’s organization main goal is focusing the public attention on the discomfort of young children, silently touching families in their role as an inseparable part of the society.
The media and the news are constantly testifying about increasing of the cases where children and teenagers are displaying aggressive behaviour between each other. Moreover, the situation is even scarier because there are also children displaying ill-treatment of disabled people and the sexual harassment. Often, this phenomenon, together with other factors, brings cases of crucial importance of early school leavers too. Moreover the “Cyberbullism”, on the Internet, should not be underestimated since although somehow it appears as a more silent phenomenon, we do not know all the unforeseen effects that it may bring with it
