The topic of was discussed in Khoni, Senaki and Lanchkhuti. The participants remembered and analyzed real facts.

 - I had a case when I became a “rapist”. But it was unconsciously. I call my friend with the nickname, she also does not realize that she is a victim of bullying. We discuss this topic at the lessons of civil education, but this is not enough.

- We do not evaluate our actions, we do not think about what our friend feels, who has already got used to the nickname. The consequences of bullying can appear years later.

According to the participants, bullying is a serious topic. Only a school or only a family can not solve this problem. Everyone should act together, and prevention should be held at initial stage.

"No one talks about the trafficking with us, although in the conditions of growing migration each of us can become a victim of trafficking. Therefore, this meeting is important in terms of prevention, "- this was the general opinion of the participants at the informational meetings of the Youth Clubs.

Trefficking, as a form of violence, its reasons, statistics, problems of the victim of trafficking, preventive measures - these topics were relevant and interesting for young people.
