Bullying


On May 5 this presentation was made by Roberto Meneses and Renato Troncoso




This presentation started by showing a video with 2 different situations of bullying in schools,the boys asked the opinion of the audience and then talk about the topic saying that Bullying is the act of intentionally causing harm to others, through verbal harassment, physical assault, or other more subtle methods of coercion such as manipulation as the definition and it can be something that it will happen even without notice.


At the end of this presentation the boys gave us a list of 12 questions whit yes/no answers in which we had to find out if we "practised" somehow bullying when we were in highschool,so if you answer yes was


  • 0=you are ok,


  • 1 or 2= possibly a bully in the making and finally more than


  • 2=you defenitly are a bully and should consider ways to change your behaviour


...and it turn out to be that I get 2 yes so you can imagine the rest...it's hard to hear that you can be potentially a bully person,but in my defense I can say that a question like do you like to tease or taunt other people? or do you get angry a lot and stay angry for a long time? , in the first question it's something that I do with my friends but just joking and in the second it depends on that gets me angry,but anyways I think, if it's a bad thing, you can change it easily.I like the fact that we were able to apply inmediately the topic to ourselves,so it was great! But it is something very important to be aware of not because it's something that happens regularly,because it's something that we're going to face it eventually.
