631 – Bullying Discourse to Survive in the Street

Abstract

Low level of education and poverty of families force the children to work as a salesperson on the crossroads, hoping to improve their financial situation. Their combats bring about verbal violence expressed in bullying. The anti-verbalism appearing in these children‘s discourse guarantees their survival in the street while some suffer from mental disorders.

The families had little or no control on these youThe personality formation of bullying children with verbal violence is concomitant with their family‘s education, income and culture.As the children grew older, they became farther from the house and relied more on their abilities to earn more money. The pressures of security forces to collect the children from the streets forced them more and more to be equipped with anti-verbalism to become the hero of competition realm and search for by-pass actions to survive.
