AUSTRALIA:
In Australia, bullying shuts down the physical and mental health of children, even costing their lives thoughout the whole country. In this case, the statistic shows us that six of every ten children and teens are bullied with a special emphasis on sports difficulties. A special mention deserves college bullying, which is extremely developed and well extended though the campus life, in the form of what the bullies call "hazings"; defined as the complex and highly abusive ceremonies that young adults have to go through to be admitted in a fraternity. In college hazings, many young men and women end up humilliated and even hurt, causing many cases of suicide.
TOTAL REPORTED CASES: 12.400
Most of the cases of bullying in primary and secondary schools in Australia occur with children and adolescents with poor performance in sports (rugby, football, basketball) is one of the biggest reasons for bullying among classmates.
Musical tastes and the way of dressing are also a reason for bullying.

Note: this World Report about Bullying surfaces thanks to the collaboration of the OECD and the NGO Bullying Without Borders. For that reason and to make it more ample and rich, data from more countries than just the 34 members of the OECD was taken. Examples of non-member that appear on the list are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Honduras, Costa Rica, etc.
Lack of reports:
"Few cases are reported by authorities of the different governing bodies on education. However, parents, educators, teenagers and even friends and relatives of bullying victims report thousands of cases each day in the official mail of Bullying Without Borders. We're inviting everyone to participate. It's this way that we can enrich this statistic and make it more ample, more plural and more valuable."
Dr. Javier Miglino. Founder of Bullying Without Borders.

Message of the Founder of Bullying Without Borders for the whole world:
"Bullying Without Borders has an International Multidisciplinary Team, formed by 60 people that meet in physical and remote manner (through Zoom and Skype), each week. The team is composed by psychiatrists, child psychiatrists, psychologists, educational psychologists, lawyers, medics, sociologists, journalists, nutritionists, specialists in Human Rights, judges, prosecutors and licencees in social services. In all cases they are professionals with recognized experience that carry though this task without asking for a cent.
Our dear friends in the whole world reach Bullying Without Borders knowing that they're facing one of the worst possible challenges for a human being: confronting the death of children and teenagers; but they don't do it as mere spectators, but as real heroes that every week, thanks to a speedy intervention, a conciliating message or a simple phone call, they arrive on time and save precious lives of hundreds of children and teenagers in the whole world. However, this task leaves in every one of us, a profound impact. It's because of it that every month we have to renew an important part of the staff, due to the fact that it's not possible to overcome situations such as the suicide of Drayke Hardman. The death of Drayke left us speechless. A handsome boy, just like his mother described us a few days ago; smart, talented, healthy, sane and with the entire world out there waiting for him. Nevertheless, the cursed bullying and cyberbullying, caused by his schoolmates, ended his life. At Bullying Without Borders, we couldn't let this slide and to tell the truth about the terrible pressure that we always go through, every day and every night".

Founder of Bullying Without Borders.
Creator of 'May 2nd. World Bullying Day'.
May 2nd. World Bullying Day. History:
World Bullying Day is an international day marked on May 2nd to raise awareness of bullying and cyberbullying. It’s a widespread issue that affects millions of students around the world in schools and universities with consequences that range from psychological traumas to even suicide and causes around 200,000 deaths each year.
This initiative was founded by NGO Bullying Without Borders in 2013, and his founder, Dr. Javier Miglino, suffered from bullying and cyberbullying considered necessary the creation of an ephemeris to help raise awareness of this problem and make governments take notice. Basing themselves on what Nelson Mandela said, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”, they thought education and awareness in schools would be the determining factor to eradicate bullying from any educational institution.
History:
World Bullying Day was conceived in April 2013 and then presented in May 2013 to more than 3.000 NGOs around the world. The iniciative was approved and they all agreed upon the fact that the date should be May 2nd. Miglino explains that the reason of why they chose that day in particular was because it was the day Bullying Without Borders was founded and also because students from the northern and southern hemisphere attend classes that day, allowing the possibility to create discussion in schools about this topic and thus further raising awareness.
According to the organization’s statistics, bullying causes around 200,000 deaths every year due to homicide or induction to suicide. At the same time it’s proven that it affects millions of students that “sometimes abandon their studies or cope them with grief and fatigue as if it were a daily torture.” The NGO considers bullying as “a silent enemy that feeds upon three poisons:
- loneliness
- sadness
- fear.”
The actions that are directly related to bullying are: cyberbullying, social block, harassment, coaction, intimidation, aggression, threat and gay bashing.

By giving bullying global visibility, we can defeat it, saving millions of lives."
