Abstract:

Although bullying is a widespread theme on social media and studied internationally for over four decades, in Brazil only became an object of studythe late 90s and early 2000. To understand the national scientific production about this theme, we considered aspects that characterize it as subtype of violence, gender difference, associated factors, consequences and possible interventional and preventive approaches. The guiding question of this integrative review was \"What have brazilian researchers been producing about bullying among adolescents?\", carried through seven databases. The data show that more than half of the research is quantitative through cross-sectional surveys and questionnaires, to establish the occurrence of bullying and associated factors. Demonstrated the significant incidence of bullying among brazilian adolescents, the relationship with risk behavior, severe mental health consequences to the young people, the lack of understanding of this age group about what is bullying and the lack of strategies to deal this type of aggression. More preventive, restorative and interventional studies is needed, also involving the community and being part of the school routine.
