Salvador Guerrero Chiprés, coordinator of the C5, emphasizes the importance of bullying prevention, stating that it is vital for parents, teachers, and nearby adults to be attentive to signs of harassment. He highlights that the fight against bullying is not only the responsibility of educational institutions, but a collective effort that requires commitment and action from the entire community.
Guerrero calls for psycho-emotional assistance and reporting of bullying cases, urging parents to actively engage in their children's digital lives. He mentions that reports of school harassment have increased by 205% since 2019 and offers helplines that can be used to report bullying situations, such as 911 for emergencies or 089 for anonymous reports.
He underscores the importance of observing the behavior of minors, mentioning that over 60% of bullying victims are girls and adolescents. Furthermore, he emphasizes that the family environment can play a crucial role in the dynamics of school bullying, as both victims and aggressors may reflect destructive behaviors learned at home.
The C5 coordinator stresses the need to promote values from a young age and collaborate with educators to address school bullying comprehensively. Guerrero calls on all sectors of society to take action against this issue, highlighting that the safety and prevention of bullying require the participation and vigilance of the entire community.
