Boxing coach Jero García presents his novel Camino de vuelta, a story that denounces school bullying. García argues that social emptiness is one of the most violent forms of mistreatment, a silent aggression that leaves deep scars. Based on his experience with at-risk youth, the book explores empathy and solidarity as tools to break isolation.
Resilience as a social algorithm against digital emptiness 🧠
In the digital ecosystem, social emptiness is replicated through ghosting or exclusion from groups. García proposes developing a resilience pattern similar to an algorithm: detect signs of isolation, activate community support responses, and reinforce emotional connection. His method trains tolerance to rejection, not as a system bug, but as data to process in order to strengthen the peer support network.
Boxing against bullying: an uppercut to loneliness 🥊
García suggests that a good left hook is not the solution, even though more than a few would like to try it in the schoolyard. The author prefers to teach how to read life's low blows without having to dish them out. His method is more subtle: turning those who are bullied into experts at dodging empty stares, something that even the most expensive meditation app fails to teach.
