BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING: EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION

Abstract

This paper addresses the phenomenon of bullying and cyberbullying in the school context, highlighting their characteristics, impacts on students’ lives, and strategies for prevention and intervention. The analysis shows that such practices are not limited to physical or verbal aggression but also involve social exclusion and symbolic violence, with emotional, social, and academic consequences that may extend into adulthood. The study emphasizes the importance of differentiated actions for Early Childhood Education, Elementary School, and High School, considering the specificities of each stage. It concludes that prevention and intervention should be understood as collective responsibilities involving schools, families, communities, and public policies, in order to promote safe learning environments and a culture of peace.
