The objective of this study was to explore the social
framework of bullying using the discourse of the different
agents involved. A qualitative method was used (i.e.
thematic analysis). We collected information from 25
semi-structured interviews. Four themes were identified:
“Descriptive elements of bullying”; “Bullying is a social
issue”; “Normalizing bullying hidden behind other types of
violence”, and “An integrated struggle against bullying”. This
study shows that bullying is a social problem associated with
other types of violence. Bullying should also be studied from
the perspective of Social Work to generate new strategies and
effective social intervention and prevention programs.
