About this book
Mobbing is a form of psychological violence that occurs in many different environments, including schools. It is a type of bullying that involves a group of individuals who work together to target and harm a victim. The group may use a variety of tactics to intimidate and isolate the victim, such as spreading rumors, excluding the victim from social activities, or verbally attacking them.The effects of mobbing can be devastating. Victims may experience depression, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness. They may also suffer from physical symptoms, such as headaches, stomach problems, and insomnia. The impact of mobbing can extend beyond the individual victim and can negatively affect the entire school community.In order to prevent and stop mobbing, it is important to understand its nature and characteristics. Mobbing is different from normal conflicts or disagreements that occur in schools.
