According to the First World Report created by the International NGO Bullying Without Borders, corresponding to the years 2020/2021 for America, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asia; realized between January 2020 and December 2021 by the 50 thousand collaborators that Bullying Without Borders has all around the world, Bullying cases all around the world have boomed in relation with the last available measurements (developed in 1990).
The official podium is occupied by Mexico, in which 7 of every 10 children and teenagers suffer some form of bullying every day. United States of America follows with 6 of every 10 children and teenagers suffering bullying and very closely is China, in which 6 of 10 children and teenagers (more precisely 5,8) suffer this phenomenon. It's important to remark that in the case of China and for political reasons we couldn't gather all available data.

BULLYING EN LA UNIVERSIDAD
BULLYING AT UNIVERSITY
HARCÈLEMENT À L'UNIVERSITÉ
"Pour Bullying Without Borders/Harcèlement Sans Frontières/Bullying Sin Fronteras, l'université doit être sûre, il y a plus de plaintes de tous les étudiants concernant des garçons et des filles victimes de harcèlement à l'université", a déclaré Javier Miglino, fondateur de BSF/HSF/BWB.
"Para Bullying Sin Fronteras, la universidad también debe ser segura, porque cada día son más las denuncias de todos los estudiantes sobre chicas y chicos que son víctimas de bullying universitario”, dijo Javier Miglino, Fundador de Bullying Sin Fronteras.
"For Bullying Without Borders, the university must be safe, because every day there are more complaints from all students about boys and girls who are victims of university bullying," said Javier Miglino, Founder of Bullying Without Borders.
PRIMER TRABAJO SOBRE BULLYING EN TODO EL MUNDO.
ASÍ LO HICIMOS:
"El Bullying es un asesino silencioso que se cobró varias víctimas mientras se escribe este informe. Es tal el daño que producen el bullying y el ciberbullying que nada menos que tres Premios Nóbel de la Paz: Desmond Tutu, John Hume y Liu Xiaobo; desde el año 2016, comenzaron a pedir a Bullying Sin Fronteras, que ante el llamativo silencio de organizaciones como UNESCO, UNICEF y otras; resultaba menester tener el valor y la energía para llevar a cabo un informe, con el suficiente respaldo académico y una clara objetividad, de modo que universidades, gobiernos, entidades educativas y medios de comunicación de todo el mundo, puedan utilizarlo para trazar una radiografía del bulllying en todo el mundo, país por país.

A partir de ahí y mediante la comunicación con hospitales que atendieron episodios graves de bullying, Ministerios de Educación y Secretarías locales de Educación que en forma abierta o estrictamente off the record nos brindaron información, los informes de causas penales donde debieron investigar situaciones graves de bullying, más los testimonios de millones de docentes y padres de víctimas, dieron forma a este Primer Informe Mundial de Bullying que a partir de este momento ponemos a disposición de todos, en forma gratuita. El bullying y el ciberbullying son asesinos silenciosos que cada año matan 200.000 niños y jóvenes en todo el mundo. Esos asesinos se nutren de tres venenos: la soledad, la tristeza y el miedo. Bullying Sin Fronteras pretende ser ese amigo valiente que siempre está a tu lado, para que no temas ni estés triste. Este informe nos costó mucho, pero si logramos eso, habrá valido la pena".

FIRST WORK ON BULLYING IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS HOW WE DID IT:
"Bullying is a silent killer that claimed several victims as this report is being written. Such is the damage caused by bullying and cyberbullying that no less than three Nobel Peace Prize winners: Desmond Tutu, John Hume and Liu Xiaobo; since 2016 they began to ask to Bullying Without Borders, that in the face of the conspicuous silence of organizations such as UNESCO, UNICEF and others, it was necessary to have the courage and energy to carry out a report, with sufficient academic support and clear objectivity, so that universities, governments , educational entities and the media around the world, can use it to draw an X-ray of bullying around the world, country by country.

From there and through communication with hospitals that treated serious episodes of bullying, Ministries of Education and local Secretaries of Education that openly or strictly off the record provided us with information, reports of criminal cases where they had to investigate serious situations of bullying , plus the testimonies of millions of teachers and parents of victims, shaped this First World Report on Bullying, which from this moment we make available to everyone, free of charge. Bullying and cyberbullying are silent killers that each year kill 200,000 children and young people around the world. These murderers feed on three poisons: loneliness, sadness and fear. Bullying Without Borders aims to be that brave friend who is always by your side, so you don't fear or be sad. This report cost us a lot, but if we achieve that, it will be worth it."

UNITED KINGDOM:
In the United Kingdom, 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: 66.400
Most of the cases of bullying in primary and secondary schools in the United Kingdom occur with children and adolescents of Arab origin.
The blows, the threats and the harassment in general, arrive every day, when entering and when leaving the school establishment.
Poor performance in sports (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.
ALERT:
The number noted, 66.400 serious cases of bullying, places THE UNITED KINGDOM as the country with the second highest number of cases of bullying in the world.
"Since 2013, the Permanent Multidisciplinary Team of Bullying Without Borders, led by Dr. Javier Miglino, Expert in Human Rights and Child Protection, collects the data obtained by thousands of collaborators in USA, MEXICO and the rest of LATAM, EUROPE and ASIA.

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."

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.
ONG INTERNACIONAL BULLYING SIN FRONTERAS
NGO INTERNATIONAL BULLYING WHITOUT BORDERS
Founded on 2/5/2012 by Dr. Javier Miglino and an International Team. On 2/5/2013 they propose the WORLD DAY AGAINST BULLYING. Then the historic 'WORLD DAY AGAINST BULLYING' would be born; one of the 24 World Anniversaries. Miglino said: "Bullying feeds on three poisons: loneliness, sadness and fear. By giving bullying global visibility, we can defeat it, saving millions of lives."
In 2016, UNESCO abolished the minimum of 25 years of prior study and approved it by acclamation.
