Formation of protagonist adolescents to prevent bullying in school contexts

qualitative interventive-participatory research, based on the Community-Based Participatory Research and in the Culture Circles of Paulo Freire. The sample was intentional, with the participation of 12 adolescents who were considered leaders. For data production at the moment of educational intervention, observation techniques were employed with note-taking in a field diary, plus photographic and video records.

Results:

the pedagogical intervention model raised the opportunity for the adolescents’ active participation, aiming at the development of skills that create pro-social behaviors, empathetic and assertive relations, which are able to face bullying and transform the school environment.

Final considerations:

the use of participative methodologies, in the youth protagonism perspective, has the potential to support educational practices of school nurses in collaboration and leadership of antibullying programs.

Bullying characters and other involved actors	Protagonist-adolescents' stances to change the scene
Teacher and Management	Protagonist 1 approaches teachers and managers and says: "My my, huh, teachers and managers! What a beautiful thing is going on in our school, students are victims of bullying and you are just standing there, doing nothing, you don't move a finger, you turned your back on our youth, what will become of this child if she goes into depression? Do something, make a stand."
Observers	Protagonist 1: "You there, you're just watching what's going on, huh? Did you know you're a part of this? You're practically supporting what he [the bully] is doing, this is ridiculous. You should try to be better informed and help people, and seek the school principal."
Victim	Protagonist 2 hugs and consoles the victim and says: "Don't accept your role as a victim, seek help, seek your family, seek the school manager, take a stance and end this, don't allow this person to demean you."
Bully	Protagonist 1: "And you're there laughing out loud, would you like it if it happened to you? Imagine if the roles were inverted, if the guy gets mad and slaps you in the face [...] sometimes even words are enough to hurt, bullying is not playtime, bullying is serious business!"
Family	Protagonist 2: "And you, why don't you try and know about your daughter, why don't you go there and help her, be more interested in knowing what she does in school, do you have any idea of what she suffers in school? Do you have any idea what she is going through?"
