Sažetak
The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence and different forms of bullying among children from three different school environments: urban, suburban and village environment. Overall, 616 students, from grade 4 to 8, participated in this study. Data about bullying were obtained from an Olweus standardized questionnaire on bullying among students. Results indicate that bullying is most present among children in primary school in a suburban environment, and least present in primary school village environment. These results are in accordance with the results known from the literature on bullying. Specifi cally, the highest percentage of bullying was usually experienced by children from suburbs or small towns, followed by children from larger towns, and eventually by small and rural communities. Consequently, most children from suburban school community participated in one or more different forms of bullying and are most afraid that they will be abused. In addition to the incidence of bullying we examined where abuse usually took place. In urban and suburban schools most abuse occurs in the school hallways or staircases, and in village schools abuse occurs on playgrounds and sports fields. In the case of abuse, school children are the most confident in their friends. When they see somoneon being abused, 60% of children from all three schools say they feel sorry and would be glad to help.
