Why is it important?
The findings show that, although teachers are aware of the seriousness of bullying, many feel insecure about detecting and managing both face‑to‑face and online cases, especially without clear protocols or institutional support. Strengthening their practical training and school structures can significantly improve early detection, fair interventions, and safer school climates for students.
Perspectives
From my perspective as coauthor, this work gives voice to teachers who often feel alone when facing bullying and cyberbullying, despite being on the front line. Their testimonies confirm the urgent need for realistic, ongoing training and stronger institutional backing so that they can move from intuitive, isolated actions to coordinated, confident responses that truly protect students.
