Helplines in Spain.

Are you a victim of bullying or shaming? Contact a hotline in Spain for support.

Bullying affects children and adults at home, school, work and online, making victims feel trapped, isolated and alone. If you’ve ever been the victim of bullying, you need not suffer in silence. There are 2 helplines in Spain where you can get the support and understanding you deserve. These are some common experiences of people being bullied:

• A popular or forceful person has told others not to be friends with you.
• You have been taunted, teased, threatened or harmed by others.
• You have been threatened or physically tripped, pushed, hit, kicked or spat at by someone.
• You have been repeatedly threatened or harmed by others.
• You have been trolled, insulted or humiliated on social media.
• Someone has made repeated negative comments about your appearance, culture, family, lifestyle or behaviour.
• Have you been publicly laughed at, taunted or purposely left out of groups and activities
• One or more people has repeatedly called you names and teased or humiliated you.

There are countless ways in which bullies can victimise others. Some are public and overt, while others are private and covert. Although you might feel rejected, self-conscious and afraid, you are not alone. Bullying is never a true reflection of who you are, how you look, or your life’s potential.

The victims of bullying are always innocent, and bullying is never deserved. Although you may feel trapped, alone or incapable, there are people in Spain who care and can provide you support. Helpline volunteers and counselors will offer you a listening ear and will work through difficult emotions with you.
