Abstract
Abstract
School violence and bullying are forms of aggressive behavior which as a rule are deliberate and harmful. In some cases, they are persistent and may continue for long periods of time such as months or even years. Most of the times the individuals who are subjected to school bullying are quite difficult to defend themselves. Aggressive behaviors and cases of violence and bullying constitute elements of a daily school reality. The intensity of such incidents and the scientific interest led to it becoming a research target for many fields such as psychology, sociology, pedagogy and political science, bringing to the surface at the same time the complexity and composite nature of the issue. The target of this research study is the qualitative examination of the educators’ and the students’ aspects concerning the role – tool of good interpersonal relationships and the prevention and management of incidents of school violence and bullying.
