Bullying can be made up of a specific and circumstantiated incident or repeated acts and continued over time; verbal aggression can use various sexual insults, intimidation or threats of actual physical violence, including finally one or more clichés, LGBT stereotypes, anti-LGBT rhetoric slogans.

Homophobic bullying involves intentional and unprovoked actions towards the victim, repeated negative actions by one or more people against another and an imbalance of physical or psychological power . On such occasions the term "Queer bullying" can also be used.]]> 2018-03-29 09:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247181255 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247181624 A research study conducted on boys between the ages of eleven and fourteen conducted in twelve London schools between 1998 and 1999 revealed that respondents frequently used the word "gay" to label another boy in a derogatory way the word, however, only as a joke and not as a declaration of negative perception of the sexual orientation of others]]> 2018-03-29 09:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247181624 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247183965 Adolescents may face various types of harassment, threats and violence. A 1998 study in the United States conducted by "Mental Health America" ​​revealed that students generally hear anti-gay insults, such as "homo", "fagot" and "sissy" about 26 times a day on average, or once every 14 minutes

About two-thirds of gay and lesbian students in British educational institutions suffered from bullying during 2007, according to research conducted by the "School Education Unit" for the LGB group of charity activities called "Stonewall"; almost all those who had been the victim of bullying had first of all experienced verbal attacks, 41% had been physically attacked and 17% had received death threats. It also emerged that over 50% of teachers did not respond to the homophobic language they had explicitly heard in the classroom, and only 25% of the schools had told their students that homophobic bullying was a wrong and criminal behavior]]> 2018-03-29 09:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247183965 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247184562 The suicide rate is higher among LGBT people. According to a 1979 study, 40 percent of gay men and 39 percent of lesbian women in the United States had attempted or seriously thought about suicide at least once in their lifetime. In 1985 it was estimated that suicides by young gays can include up to 30 percent of all youth suicides in the United States. The American Suicide Prevention Foundation noted that gays, lesbians and bisexuals attempt suicide during adolescence and early youth at speeds three to six times that of their heterosexual peers]]> 2018-03-29 09:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247184562 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247185579 Cyberbullying (ie "online bullying") is the term that indicates a type of continuous, repeated, offensive and systematic attack implemented through the tools of the network.

The term cyberbullying was coined by the Canadian professor Bill Belsey [1]. The English-speaking lawyers usually distinguish between cyberbullying (cyberbullying), which occurs between minors, and cyberharassment ("cybermolestia") that occurs between adults or between an adult and a minor [2]. However, in current cyber-bullying use is used interchangeably for both cases. Like bullying in real life, cyberbullying can sometimes constitute a violation of the Civil Code and of the Penal Code and, as regards the Italian legal system, of the Code of Privacy]]> 2018-03-29 09:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247185579 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247186681 Compared to traditional bullying in real life, cyberbullying does it on the internet sometimes causing violent damage.
• Anonymity of the abuser: in reality, this anonymity is illusory, every electronic communication still leaves traces. For the victim, however, it is difficult to go back alone to his molester; moreover, in the face of the anonymity of the cyberbully, unpleasant things about the victim's account (often described in a manifest way, others in an apparently unrelated way to his identity) can be forwarded to a large number of people.
• Difficult availability: if cyberbullying takes place via SMS, instant messaging or email, or in a private online forum, for example, it is more difficult to find and remedy it.
• Weakening of ethics: the two previous characteristics, combined with the possibility of being "another person" online (like a role-playing game), can weaken ethical biases: people often do and say things online that do not would do or would say in real life.
• Absence of space-time limits: while traditional bullying usually takes place in specific places and moments (for example in a scholastic context), cyberbullying invests the victim every time he connects to the electronic medium used by the cyberbully (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, blogs , etc.)]]> 2018-03-29 09:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247186681 serematera09 https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247189649 Flaming: violent and vulgar online messages (see "flame") aimed at provoking verbal battles in a forum.
• Harassment: repeated dispatch of insulting messages aimed at injuring someone.
• Denigration: harassing someone for damaging their reputation free of charge, via e-mail, instant messaging, groups on social networks, etc.
• Person replacement ("impersonation"): passing for another person to send messages or publish reprisals.
• Deception: (trickery); gain the trust of someone with deception and then publish or share information confided by electronic means with others.
• Exclusion: deliberately exclude a person from an online group to provoke a feeling of marginalization in it.
• Cyber-persecution ("cyberstalking"): repeated and threatening harassment and denigration aimed at instilling fear.
• Doxing: public dissemination of personal and sensitive data via the Internet.
• Death threats]]> 2018-03-29 10:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/serematera09/Bookmarks/wish/247189649
