Bullying in Primary Schools from the Perspective of Primary School Teachers

Abstract

One of the most common types of aggressive behavior among school-aged children is bullying which is no longer just a matter of the army, prison, or the lives of people in borderline life situations. It is not infrequently encountered by pupils and teachers in our schools as well. Nowadays, this phenomenon is moving from the age of adolescence and puberty to increasingly younger age groups - even to the younger school age or pre-school age. This paper deals with the issue of bullying among pupils of younger school age. The aim of the presented contribution is to present the experiences of primary school teachers with bullying among pupils and to map what forms of prevention they use in their practice.
