In this paper, the authors analyse a few aspects concerning violence in school which is, from a statistic point of view, the most frequent deviant behaviour in school. The different forms of violence among schoolchildren occur in different contexts. Breaks between classes mean a space where schoolchildren are not watched by their teachers, which allows them to inter-relate. Knocking, offending, pushing, wounding, hurting, cursing, threatening, and vandalising are but some forms of the violence in school. The conclusions the authors have reached thanks to a questionnaire applied to secondary school pupils allowed the former to develop a few directions of prevention and solution of school violence, a phenomenon that has marked the health state, body integrity and psychological development in schoolchildren.
