In thesis, I researched whether young people recognize peer violence, how they understand it, and whether the understanding and recognition of peer violence differ between male and female students in different educational programs in secondary schools. In the theoretical introduction, I first defined the basic concepts. In the following, I wrote about the life of young people, which includes factors of growing up. I defined the concept of violence. Under the heading peer violence, I wrote about what it is, forms, signs, consequences, and roles. In the conclusion, I focused on peer violence in schools. I wrote about the treatment and action in case of peer violence in school. I also wrote how to prevent violence in schools.
The research is quantitative. I used online suryey questionnaire.
Results showed that students recognize different forms of peer violence. Those who were involved in inter-school violence often found themselves in the role of an observer. Participants in peer violence most often carried out, detected, and experienced physical and verbal violence. In cases where those involved are most often defending themselves and others, they try to calm the situation. The results of the research showed that there were no differences between students in the 3rd grade at this high school in terms of recognizing, experiencing, and responding to peer violence, regardless of whether they were in a gymnasium or vocational program. There are also no differences in the perception of the role of school in prevention and treatment.
