Abstract
The situations of bullying and cyberbullying are, sadly, increasingly present events in the school community, especially favored in the case of cyberbullying, by the boom of social networking taking place in our society. The factors that attempt to explain these peer violence situations have revealed aspects of the individuals involved in them, but we must not forget other variables, such as family type, are crucial at this stage of the life cycle and thus may play also an important role. The aim of this paper is to analyze whether belonging to some of the different family groups existing in our society could be related to the incidence of bullying situations and cyberbullying. Participants were 1684 students from 22 secondary schools (IES and IESO) of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura being 50.9% of the sample women and 49.1% men. The results confirm that there are more victims and aggressors among non-nuclear families (single parent families, blended families, parenting by grandparents,...) than nuclear families, however this relationship was not found among observers.

Summary
Características Características Personales: Impulsividad, agresividad, extroversión, diversos niveles de autoestima, necesidad de ejercer dominio sobre los demás, dificultades de autocontrol, falta de empatía, baja escala moral. Diversos estudios han dirigido su atención hacia la influencia de la familia en el fenómeno de bullying, ya que ésta conlleva un adecuado ajuste psicosocial en los/as menores, evitando así su implicación en comportamientos problemáticos (Dekovic, Wissink y Meijer, 2004; Martínez, Fuertes, Ramos y Hernández, 2003; Musitu, Buelga, Lila y Cava, 2001). No existen demasiados estudios que se hayan ocupado directamente del análisis que pueden ejercer diferentes variables mediadoras como la familia en las conductas violentas de los/as adolescentes, ya que la mayoría han explorado el papel desempeñado por otras variables mediadoras como son la actitud negativa de los/as menores ante la autoridad institucional o la baja autoestima (Molpeceres, Lucas y Pons, 2000; O’Moore, 1997), las cuales podrían tener su origen en el contexto familiar. La distribución por género y nivel educativo de los participantes está recogida en la tabla 2, y en la tabla 3 los estadísticos descriptivos referidos a la edad de los alumnos/as
