GROWTH OF BULLYING IN SPAIN:
SPAIN HAS HAD AN EXPLOSIVE GROWTH IN SCHOOL BULLYING OR BULLYING AND CYBER BULLYING OR CYBERBULLYING IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
The work developed in SPAIN corresponding to 2024 is prepared with the same methodology throughout the world. In this case, bullying has been audited in SPAIN based on data provided by the Secretariats and Ministries of Education of the different Autonomous Communities and the Ministry of Education, the Criminal Courts in relation to the entry of serious cases and the own testimonies from parents of those affected and teachers with significant cases in which they have had to intervene. The marked percentages imply the number of children and adolescents who suffer from bullying out of the total universe of students at the primary and secondary levels.
The particular case of SPAIN:

Although Bullying Without Borders' 50,000 collaborators carry out marathon work, this does not include all cases, since it is impossible to quantify them. However, once all the information is collected, we immediately make it available. of ministries, universities, media and public and private teaching institutes, so that the different educational organizations, teachers and the general population of the Iberian Peninsula can have an approach to the problem of bullying and cyberbullying, which causes more than 200,000 deaths worldwide each year," said the Director of Bullying Without Borders.
