Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to examine the attitudes of teachers and associates towards inter-coeval violence (bullying) in correlation with the actual presence of violence in schools. The study proceeds from the hypothesis that, according to the attitudes of teachers, violence is present as a problem at school, but that teachers' attitudes and teachers' perceptions of inter-coeval violence (bullying) do not correlate with the actual presence of violence in schools. The study included a sample of 83 teachers, of which 62 were female teachers and 21 were male teachers. For the purpose of this study, a measuring instrument was constructed in the form of a questionnaire. Results show that 51.8% of teachers think that inter-coeval violence (bullying) is unnoticeably present in schools. Results show that 41.2% of teachers consider that inter-coeval violence (bullying) as a problem is present at school, while 40% do not consider that inter-coeval violence (bullying) as a problem is present at school.
