摘要：The aim of this paper is to examine the prevalence of peer violence among primary school students, where revenge is used as a negative, violent, and undesirable confrontation strategy. The research included 104 fifth grade and 100 eighth grade students. The results obtained demonstrated that older students practice revenge more frequently (by app. 30%) than the younger ones (app. 19%). Besides, when compared to girls, examined boys resort to revenge more frequently, which was found to be more significant only with younger students. Namely, there are no significant differences statistically with regard to the prevalence of revenge among examined eighth grade students of the same gender. However, boys tend to threaten the person they are in conflict with more frequently than girls. As an institution of education, school presents a likely setting in which bullies and their victims play their respective roles. It is of utmost importance to recognize and prevent peer violence. This necessitates providing help to children who are victims of violence as well as to children practicing it. It also includes those who only observe, or witness violence.
