At the national level, he estimated that 70% of children in Argentina suffer from bullying.
Another issue that was discussed was the role of teachers, how these authority figures can encourage it without meaning to or with full intent.
The director of Organización de Prevención said that since the foundation was established, around 25% of the complaints they receive are against members of the teaching staff in both public and private schools, “we even receive letters from teachers exposing situations of harassment by other teachers.”
He also explained that the term “bullying” only applies when a minor harasses or intimidates another minor. When an adult engages in psychological or physical violence, it qualifies as assault.
“This happens because we have teachers who work by trade, since many of them do not have a vocation; they are trained but not qualified.” Victor Alejandro Smoly, Executive Director of the Global Organization for the Prevention of Bullying”
When asked how to solve bullying, the interviewee stated that it requires joint efforts with institutions such as the Ministry of Education and the General Council of Education, as well as with parents, administrators, and teachers, so that they know how to act correctly and assist both children, the victim and the perpetrator.
He added that he would propose the creation of a ministry for the prevention of bullying, as a measure to tackle the root of the problem and promote collective awareness.
