Bullying in Physical Education classes: the perception of students.

This evaluation study aimed to examine the perceptions of bullying in high school. We investigated 49 students aged 17 to 19 years. These data have confirmed the occurrence of bullying. The boys believe that bullying occurs more frequently in classes separated by gender (69.2%); 60.9% of the girls state that it occurs more often in mixed classes. The most common practices are verbal abuse (75.4%), emotional abuse (18.4%), and physical abuse (6.2%). The students investigated consider legitimate the teacher’s action to define rights and obligations to control deviant individuals.
