Smiljana Zrilić

Abstract

Studies on frequency and manifestable forms of violence in schools mostly deal with the research of relation between the bully and the victim. Everyday drama that happens in school is an antisocial activity whose participants are all children in school. Violence also includes the children that watch the violence, extremely stressfully sympathize with the victim or participate in violence themselves by cheering, approving, including.
In this work the author analyzes the circle of school violence that also includes the children that watch the violence. In time, passive observers change their role and become bullies. Therefore, school violence cannot be investigated without particular interest in children that are witnesses, regardless whether they sympathize with the victim or join the attacks.
