anthropologists You don’t have to go deep into the jungles of Amazon or Sumatra to understand the habits of primitive man, because in every school that exists in this world we can see clear indications atavistic and primal behavior. And it happens precisely through the constant harassment that many children suffer; ironically, they arrive at the sanctuaries of education, only to fall into pits a hell of bullying, and in the end they turn out to be victims one of those packs of boys who, when they act, do it unconsciously, drawn by their primitive ancestors, which, in our time, we still carry like a shadow on us. our acts of violence.

They small packs, similar to those that gather instincts predators, come together to identify exclusive weaknesses in other individuals and then make them the collective object of consistent harassment. That is why in these cases the perpetrators are always plural in their activities. There, in that type of collective behavior, where the individuality of thought is finely diluted, lies exactly that danger of harassment. In the assembled group, the individual’s ability to reason, from his sense of empathy, from his human compassion, and there arises, from the depth of his being, the closed and confined bestiality which the system is called upon to control.

It is important to school institutions identify immediately the type of behavior to which the child is attracted by the need to belong to a group; but it is more important to instill that in the child at home, above all the importance of thinkingunderstand and understand their surroundings, so that they do not get lost in the herd, so that they do not become diluted in the pack that moves in its violence in the shallows and spreads guilt among the group.

This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated and come on in then the regulatory need which imposes govern man in all caseswhere one does not know how to rule, to avoid a greater evil.

We see isolated young people, victims of this primitive violent behavior, that damage has been done, even irreversible damage many times over. When a child shows signs that he is a victim of peer violence, he should immediately triangulate the alarm for help at home, in schools and authorities, because this could cause unfortunate consequences for the whole society. We all failed, in the end, when he was a teenager, dragged along they suffer because they are victims of bullying in schools, ends with suicide. It is not feasible, then, however isolated these cases may seem, for the system as a whole to simply ignore it and allow this kind of caveman behavior to prevail in society.

Even in youth sports there is a tendency to reflect the reality of attacks by the strong on the weak, with the connivance of the coaches, who do nothing for this absurd honor to the supposed “competitive spirit”; but the truth is that the community loses much more because of the trophies that are won in the form individual for violence of this kind. As a society, let us urgently address the problem of elementary school bully in schools, because it will always end up escalating, in one way or another, to unfortunate consequences that could have been avoided. Especially at home, we have to be vigilant because we might miss them unknowingly. parents of victims or perpetrators.
