How to make bullying, the hard video to raise awareness about bullying
"Let's have some laughs." This is how the video 'Cómo hacer bullying', 30 seconds with a clear and accurate message against bullying. The images, created by the agency Madrid Nassau, have been launched by the Balia Foundation in a campaign to raise awareness among the population about the bullying.
It's just half a minute but a hard message. In the video two students are represented, one tries to convince the other to harass a third partner while laughing and recounts his previous 'successes'. The high point occurs when the camera shows who the kid is talking to: a child.
That is the message of the video: "if we do not educate ourselves, others will do it". Draws attention to the important role that parents have when it comes to educating respectful children who know what to do and what not to do and, of course, to be independent so that do not be fooled.
Risk of cyberbullying
Bullying is an issue that deserves our full attention. Especially since the new technologies have caused the stalker to exert pressure on the victim 24 hours a day. The victim no longer has a safe place, not even his house. As revealed UNICEF approximately eight out of 10 young people believe they are at risk of cyberbullying, especially through social networks.
A cyberbullying that today is protected in the anonymity offered by these virtual tools. The loss of fear to be discovered allows that typing on the keyboard favors a person dare to attack a fellow who would not face in real life. In fact, the data from this UNICEF study indicates that young people believe that anyone can also be an executioner through social networks.
The numbers suggest that five out of ten young people They believe that their friends participate in this type of harassment when they surf the net. This virtual world so globalized even allows to practice this type of violence with people who are not even known.
