PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND

INTERPRETATION OF DATA
 Social Discrimination
• This happens when students felt discriminated during class group activities, making of
projects and performance tasks to be done collaboratively. The victims of bullying
experienced discrimination and rejection in class activities. For no specific reason, Joy, not
her real name, was ignored in conversations with classmates and ridiculed every time she
participated in class discussion. Also, Precious, not her real name, was oftentimes
unwelcomed to class groupings during performance tasks set by the teacher. As a result,
the teacher would assign her to a group where students could not refuse. In the case of
Great, not his real name, he would walk out of the classroom and stayed in the canteen or
in any corners of the campus when his classmates would discriminate him not to be part
of the group. With these discriminating experiences, participants preferred not be part of
the group and isolate themselves. However, they still did the task assigned to them
despite the feeling of being excluded in the class. Bittencourt, Ganzo de Castro, Alves,
Palazzo, Monteiro, Vieira, and Freddo [5] highlighted that in the school environment,
discrimination can involve teachers, employees, family members and students, all of
whom can be discriminatory agents. When this occurs among students, the discriminated
adolescent is not the only victim; the aggressor is also a victim, often feeling insecure and
having social relationship problems. In addition to the aggressor and the victim, there are
the witnesses to this situation, who remain silent as they are afraid to become the next
victim and, for this reason, also turn into aggressors at times.
