Bullying is a particular form of violence and an extremely harmful, antisocial behavior with long-lasting and far-reaching negative consequences for its victims. “Bullying at school” is not a new phenomenon, but it is increasingly attracting the attention of society as a whole.

School bullying occurs when negative, harmful, derogatory, ostracizing or insulting actions occur not just once or a few times, but repeatedly and systematically over a longer period of time.

In most cases – and where it makes sense to do so – it is worth seeking a discussion with the persons and bodies involved. In the event of racist discrimination at school, the school management should be informed immediately. In order to successfully take action against racist remarks, violence and bullying, it must be possible to prove the discriminatory act with witnesses and/or other evidence.
