Abstract:
The bullying phenomenon is annually bringing prejudice to the emotional and physical wellbeing of millions of people worldwide, leaving behind hard-to-heal trauma. Although it is considered an antisocial behaviour equally acknowledged and condemned by the public opinion, recent statistics outline an increasing rate of incidence, fact that reiterates the importance of accurately pinpointing the contexts which allow the emergence of this phenomenon and, obviously, of identifying the optimal methods of intervention. This article captures, in summary, the main explanatory theories that complete the information picture (the corpus of information), uniting the individual and the systemic perspectives.
