Hello I'm an European and I watch a question about bullying portrayal in movies. When I was younger, all movies for teens had always this bully character that belittled the protagonist, physically assaulted them, insulted them even in front of the teachers, even going as far as threatening them violently. Is that really how bullying is there?
Also. In movies and tv shows, teachers always dismissed bullying concerns, and from what I see of people talking about it it sounds horrific.
I went to a school in Spain where I suffered bullying, yes, but we had a social program of tutoring put in place to prevent it. Teachers were always supervising us, and we never physically fought like I've seen in American movies. It was mostly insults.
