Bullying at Vocational Secondary School in Region Pilsen - Town
KULHÁNKOVÁ, Renata
Bullying at Vocational Secondary School in Region Pilsen {--} Town The problem of bullying has been remaining a hot issue recently. It concerns in particular the increasing number of cases of bullying, decreasing age of the aggressors or persons actively involved in bullying, increased brutality, aggression and inventiveness with which bullying is realized. Bullying is a dangerous socio-pathologic phenomenon, under which in particular personal freedom and freedom of choice are restricted, human dignity and honesty are humiliated and in many cases, damage to health or to property is caused. This can be defined as aggressive behaviour by means of which an aggressor seizes dominance over their victim using physical or mental torture. The aim of an aggressor is to win a feeling of dominance, power or certain advantages over the persons subject to bullying. The goal of my paper was to map the problems relating to bullying at the Secondary Vocational School of Electrical Engineering in Vejprnická ulice No. 56 in Plzeň. For the purpose of the research, the quantitative method of survey in the form of pre-prepared anonymous questionnaires which were distributed on a random basis among the students of the second and third years of the four-year specializations with a graduation exam. The survey was based on 162 respondents. The results show that verbal form of bullying is more frequent than physical one. In particular, it concerns verbal attacks, exposing schoolmates to ridicule, use of offensive language, humiliation, slanders and intrigues. It follows from this that the first three stages of bullying are being realized at the school concerned. The paper proves that it is important to deal with bullying at secondary schools as the students there are criminally liable and thus legally competent to recognize the dangerousness of their acting and to be able to keep their behaviour under control.
