Bullying in Schools

The Necessary Role of Children and Adolescent Law in Promoting a Culture of Fraternity

Abstract

The analysis of the phenomenon of bullying, on the basis of the teaching of Integral Protection, which is the matrix for the Children and Adolescent Law, as well as Fraternal Law, implies a differentiated perspective on that issue, so as not to risk simply criminalizing it. In this context, fraternity is a fundamental element in the constitution of relationships, whether it be in the relationship with other individuals or in the relationship with others in institutional contexts. From that perspective, therefore, fraternity is able to promote the building of a society that promotes non-violence, respect and tolerance.
