摘要:A broad definition of school bullying is when one or more pupils repeatedly disturb, attack or hurt other students. It could be direct and indirect, verbal and physical. Physical and psychical symptoms are found more frequently among school bullying victims. The aim of this study is to find out what are the types of bullying according to age, gender and town of study, and sense of safety in different school premises. This cross-sectional study enrolled 484 fourth to eight graders in two primary schools. Results of the study show that the most frequently reported type of victimization is verbal (59%) and the rarest one is sexual (2.24%). The boys are more frequently engaged in physical bullying than the girls, while the girls used verbal type of bullying more frequently. Pupil's sense of safety was highest in the classroom, and lowest in the toilette. In terms of safety in different school premises there are no differences between the towns, except concerning school playground: pupils from Stolac were more unsafe at the playground (31 or 14.3%) than their peers in Posušje (10 or 3.7%).
