In empirical part, which is based on my own observation of school class, the structure of relations between boys is completely described. The goal of empirical part is to describe boys as individuals and according to their appearances, interests, family relations and games, which boys like to play in school class, divided them into several groups. Games in school class are mentioned in separate paragraph. According to my own observation four groups of boys were established. Each group has typical character and their members have specific interests and own attitude to class. These groups were created because of likings between boys, similar attributes of boys and attitudes of boys to school. These results are elaborated in the conclusion of my dissertation.
