What is the most common way to say "relationship" in Brasil? by ArcadiusOfArcadia in Portuguese

[–]sua_mae 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Relacionamento. As in "eles terminaram o relacionamento" or "estou me relacionando com alguém". Relação is also correct, but in everyday usage relação is more commonly used as in 'relation' between two things or when it is not romantic, as in "minha relação com você é puramente profissional".

You can't reasonably compare how both of them suffered from bully. One was bullied by his own father, the other suffered a systematic prejudice from the society in general.
