LARRAIN, Enara  e  GARAIGORDOBIL, Maite. Bullying in the Basque Country: prevalence and differences depending on sex and sexual orientation. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.3, pp.147-153.  Epub 02-Nov-2020. ISSN 2174-0550.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2020a19.

Every student is at risk of aggressive bullying behavior during their lifetime. However, there are groups with a higher risk of suffering these aggressive behaviors, especially the LGTB group. This study has three objectives: (1) to analyze the prevalence of victims and aggressors of bullying among high school adolescents; (2) to explore differences based on sex; and (3) to identify differences based on sexual orientation. A sample consisting of 1,748 adolescents from the Basque Country completed two questionnaires. The results show (1) a high percentage of victims (41.6% global, 11% severe), as well as aggressors (28.5% global, 2.7% severe); (2) that girls show greater victimization and boys show aggression; and (3) a higher percentage of non-heterosexual victims, especially gay and bisexual. In conclusion, LGTB people show greater vulnerability to suffer bullying and, therefore, the need to develop and implement anti-discrimination programs in the educational community.
