Abstract

This article analyzes responses to bullying in Brazilian schools, emphasizing the changes introduced by Laws No. 13,185/2015 and No. 14,811/2024 and their implications for educational institutions. A qualitative, bibliographic, and documentary study was conducted using a descriptive and analytical approach, connecting scientific research on systematic intimidation and cyberbullying with the main legal provisions concerning education and the protection of children and adolescents. The findings indicate that Brazilian legislation has moved from defining the phenomenon toward a broader framework encompassing prevention, intervention, and accountability while preserving the formative role of schools. However, legal instruments alone do not ensure safe school relationships. Their practical effectiveness depends on institutional capacity to identify incidents, understand their specific circumstances, and provide proportionate responses. The study concludes that implementing these legal frameworks requires an integrated approach combining the protection of rights, educational action, and a sustained institutional commitment to respectful school coexistence.
