Abstract

In recent years, cyberbullying has increased alarmingly, due to the constant evolution of technology, together with the ever-decreasing age of access to technological devices. In addition, anonymity, and the lack of direct and immediate perception of the damage caused, make homophobic cyberbullying a great challenge that schools must overcome and provide answers to. We need to listen to the experiences and emotions of students who have been harassed for their sexual orientation in the school setting through technological devices. The objective of this article is to learn about the several consequences caused by homophobic cyberbullying. For this purpose, the biographical narrative methodology is used to give a voice to a sixth-grade student of Primary Education who has suffered homophobic cyberbullying by some of his classmates.
