Abstract

Abstract

Several studies show different manifestations of bullying, from its visible forms, such as physical or verbal aggression to more psychological and subtle forms, which are more dangerous because they go unnoticed and cannot be stopped by the educational community. We have raised to find out how the bullying occurs, if they do this in a direct or visible form, psychological, via Internet, and / or they using other forms such as sexual. To deduce that, we have conducted a large study in La Rioja (Spain), with 348 questionnaires, four focus groups and thirty interviews, aimed at students, parents and teachers. The results show that the most common form of bullying in La Rioja is the psychological form, and specifically, students laugh at their victims. In addition, all participants in the qualitative techniques added that the ciberbullying often occurs in la Rioja also. In both cases, the girls have more prominence, so we must consider the need to implement more equality programs in schools, and train and inform to the educational community about bullying and the proper use of the new technologies,among others.
