Peer bullying is a widespread problem in many European communities. One child in three in Europe is regularly bullied (Winnicott 2011). No student should be afraid of being harassed or humiliated on the way to school and no parent should worry that something could happen to his or her own children (Genta, 2014). As the need to be safe in relationships is a basic human right and every young person has the right to be protected and saved from bullying (Vergati, 2003).
In this context, when the basic psychological needs (emotional accessibility) of adolescents prone to bullying are not met, they turn to various aggressive behaviours (Ciucci, 1999). One of the family's responsibilities for a growing child is to meet his or her needs at every stage of development (Fonzi, 1999). Therefore, the emotional accessibility of parents is important. Studies have shown that children who lack emotional accessibility are prone to peer bullying and inflicting violence on their peers
