Table 2. Types of school bullying.

Code Testimonies
Physical harassment Yes, I was more afraid than sad, I don’t know. I was very scared to go, because sometimes he threatened to hit me (C4).
Well,...a Moroccan boy, he spent two years bothering, insulting, assaulting...even, luckily there was no suspension for my son, but I had to go to school several times, and several times the other person was expelled...but even with abuse (M6).
They pushed him and insulted him [...] No, it was like pushing him and telling him.... You’ll never be a boy because you don’t have what boys have and so on... (M7).
Verbal harassment (M6).Well, they picked on him because he had long hair. They even called him ‘you faggot’. Insults (M6).
At school they used to say to me, what are you doing dressing up as a girl, disgusting! A man dressed up as a woman (C9).
He called me as he used to do, he used to call me sick, because of the way I was, he used to pick on me in all the classes, even if I didn’t say anything, any insult was on me (C4).
I remember I was on a school trip and we were on the bus, and another girl told me that a girl was making fun of me because I was dressed like a boy because I wanted to feel cool, and I felt pretty bad, I had a really bad time on this trip (C5).
One day we were in a gym class and we had to go to wash up, and when I went in, there was a girl who was messing with me, and she said to me, what are you doing, coming in here to the girls’ bathroom, she pushed me and slammed the door on my face (C10).
Bullying on social media Well, telling me on Instagram that I was a faggot, I was a tranny, and suchlike (C4).
Some time ago I was on WhatsApp and they put me in a group where we were transsexual, bisexual people or things like that and well...there was one who was, I don’t remember what he was, but he loved to bother transsexual people and he started messing with my body (C6).
(C10).There was an application in which you could write and it was anonymous and that person wrote to you and you received the message, but you didn’t know who it was, and sometimes they would say to me ‘gorilla, fat, but what are you doing thinking you’re a boy’, and suchlike (C10).
On social networks I suppose she told you about it, an application, I told her to remove that application and her sister also told her, because they were messing with her in a brutal way, and as you couldn’t know who they was because it was anonymous, so we removed that application from her phone, but it’s the same people who go with her, the only thing is that it was anonymous, you didn’t know who they was (M10).
