In Brazil, four in ten teenagers face school bullying


In Brazil, four out of ten students aged 13 to 17 say they have already been victims of bullying, and 27.2 percent in this age group have suffered some form of humiliation two or more times.

The data, released this week, are based on testimonies collected in 2024 in schools across Brazil by the Brazilian government’s statistics agency IBGE as part of the National School Health Survey (PeNSE).

Compared to the previous survey, conducted in 2019, there was a 0.7 percentage point increase in the total number of students who reported having suffered bullying. The proportion of students who experienced it at least twice rose by more than 4 percentage points, Marco Andreazzi, the research manager, emphasized.

“Bullying is already characterized as something persistent, intermittent… And here we observe an upward trend, indicating that more students have begun to experience repeated situations of violence,” Andreazzi said.

The researcher stressed that “the number of those who suffer bullying remains practically the same; however, the persistence and intensity of the episodes have increased.”

Appearance, race, gender

Bullied students told researchers that their facial features or hair were the main targets of bullying, accounting for 30.2 percent of cases.

Next is body appearance, accounting for 24.7 percent, followed by bullying related to color or race, reported by 10.6 percent.

“There is also a high percentage - 26.3 percent - of students who say the bullying had no reason. That is, many of those who suffer do not know why, and this is natural, since bullying occurs collectively and the victim does not necessarily perceive a reason for it. On the contrary, they feel completely wronged,” the research manager noted.

The research found that girls are the most affected - 43.3 percent have experienced bullying, compared to 37.3 percent of boys.

Furthermore, 30.1 percent of female adolescent students reported feeling humiliated by teasing from classmates two or more times. This proportion is nearly 6 percentage points higher than among male students.

Profile of the aggressors

Data on those who commit bullying show an inverse pattern: 13.7 percent of students reported having engaged in some form of violence - 16.5 percent of boys and 10.9 percent of girls.

IBGE also asked about the reasons for the aggression, and once again, facial features, hair, body type, and skin color or race were the most frequently cited.

However, some significant differences emerged in relation to victims’ reports. For example, 12.1 percent of perpetrators said they engaged in bullying because of their classmates’ gender or sexual orientation, while only 6.4 percent of victims identified this as a motive for the violence.

A similar pattern emerged regarding disability: while 7.6 percent of perpetrators acknowledged engaging in bullying for this reason, only 2.6 percent of victims associated the attacks with this characteristic.

For researchers, this may indicate that many victims prefer to remain silent about the circumstances for fear of being stigmatized.

Emotions inspire transformation: delving into EFL teachers’ emotions and professional identities


Emotions in education have attracted significant attention over the past few years, particularly in language teaching and learning. Emotions are not just fleeting states but also play a crucial role in classroom dynamics, influencing both student achievements and the quality of teaching. In particular, they are instrumental in influencing teachers’ professional identity, image, affective commitment level, and even classroom performance because the emotional experiences of teachers are deep, complex, and intertwined with their very professional identity. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) typically intensifies the emotional complexity. Subsequent research has extended beyond the understanding of emotions as solely psychological phenomena, and emotions are now also understood as sociocultural and political constructs. Viewed this way, teaching can be seen as emotional labor: an ongoing demand to demonstrate and regulate emotions in a way that aligns with professional norms but may lead to burnout and disillusionment if no coping mechanisms are provided. The challenges faced by teachers have led to an increased call for support to help them identify, process, and respond to emotions. This notion supports conscious emotional work, and as it is no longer viewed solely as remedial practice, it is a critical first step in developing coherent and resilient professional identities. The relationship between teacher emotions and identity is not a linear one; they are in constant and dynamic interplay with one another. As emotional experiences fluctuate, whether through student interactions, collegial relationships, or institutionalized approaches and policies, the teacher’s capacity to develop in a sense of professional identity also changes.

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites commuters to trade scrolling for stories

In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a newly opened subterranean library inside the Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.

The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than 16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal area, all while waiting for their train.

“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational and cultural center, and not just a place where you can borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.

A modern space that breathes life into books

Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers gives the underground space a breath of fresh air, literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft, undulating waves, add to the organic feel.

“I always joke that books are not made of glass,” Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”

Aiming to reverse a national trend

Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy of war has shaped these numbers. During World War II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.

“We had several generations that did not see their parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,” Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers, librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”

By placing literature in the path of everyday commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural perception.

An open invitation to all

For Makowski, the location is just as important as the books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but a place where you can spend time freely, take part in discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”

In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the community. Books can be returned either directly to the library or via parcel lockers outside the station, available around the clock.

As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm, Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural moments. By meeting people where they are, literally underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading. It’s redefining what public space can offer.

    Sappho was a Greek lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style and for her ability to impress readers with a lively sense of her personality. Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular speech and Aeolic poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. Her phrasing is concise, direct, and picturesque. 

    Many legends about her have been repeated for centuries. She is said, for example, to have been married to Cercylas, a wealthy man from the island of Andros. But many scholars challenge this claim. Most modern critics also consider it legend that Sappho leaped from the Leucadian rock to certain death in the sea because of her unrequited love of Phaon, a younger man and a sailor. She had at least two brothers, Larichus and Charaxus, and may have had a third. A fragment from Sappho that is dedicated to Charaxus has survived. One of her poems mentions a daughter named Cleis or Claïs. The tradition that she fled the island or was banished and went to Sicily may be true, but she lived most of her life in her hometown of Mytilene on Lesbos. Her work contains only a few apparent allusions to the political disturbances of the time.
