Healthy sporting activity also promotes the child and adolescent's ability to manage themselves independently from their parents, to communicate with adults and peers, to accept others who are different from themselves, to experience a sense of success and to learn the concept of victory and defeat. The latter is not a failure but is an incentive to understand where you go wrong and therefore do better in subsequent performances. This is the message launched by the boxing champion Erittu, as a bully and as a bullied. « I think that even the bully needs to be listened to to understand the nature of his behavior», underlined Erittu «this also happened to me who received a rigid education, where physical violence prevailed over verbal communication, and this entailed an outburst of equal violence. What saved me was Alberto Mura, a master of sport and life, who gave me a turning point in my life, which allowed me to achieve many excellent results over the course of my career."

And if bullying is a plague to be fought in school classrooms, it happens that it can move into the digital field . Thus many young people become the target of ridicule and insults visible to members of the entire group, photographed in embarrassing moments or poor performances and teased. «Usually people talk about young people spoiled by the prejudice of adults», explains Mario Pireddu «who often divert responsibility onto the platform by attributing it to technology, while there is first of all a human responsibility, of a cultural and socio-economic nature much broader that affects people's mentality. The data on basic skills show us that those in their 40s, 50s and 60s have problems more than young people who have problems to a lesser extent . From young people there are requests that adults struggle to recognise."

In front of an audience made up of former professional footballers, the police also play a fundamental role in the fight against this phenomenon. For the former Porto Torres midfielder, Andrea Bagnoli , born in 1967, who played for various teams in the B and C series. «When you receive an invitation to these initiatives you must always participate, especially when you have an attachment to the city, like me who have been linked to Porto Torres for 40 years, - he declared - and this theme which has evolved in a negative sense over the years, helps us to reflect on how the contribution of each of us is fundamental. We are all addicted to some objects such as cell phones that steal important values and hours of our life." The day of sport and lessons ended at the municipal field of Campanedda for a football quadrangular which saw the Giovanissimi and Pupils categories of Porto Torres Calcio, the amateurs of the Seleçao, a representative of parents together with former professional footballers compete in a playful way. , including Gianfranco Zola .
