Daphne Macías emphasizes that school bullying cannot be confused with a joke

The psychologist Daphne Macías, from the Healthy Relationships Foundation, addressed this Thursday the issue of bullying, before the face-to-face return to classes on March 7.

He explained that people tend to confuse bullying with joking. “To define bullying, it is any aggressive behavior that occurs as a joke or not, and that occurs towards one person or several. It must meet three characteristics: that it occurs between boys or girls of the same ages; it is a repetitive and frequent situation; that the situation causes some kind of physical or emotional pain in the person, ”he indicated.
