Violence against children is a complex social phenomenon which relates to values and society’s resistance to negative social phenomenon.

Shame covers all range of feelings: adolescent feels ignorance, dis-respect, disregard, exclusion, weakness, etc. These feelings makes a person feel not valuable and this is a powerful motive for violet behavior. While researching teenagers’ point of view towards violence and the issues causing it, the aim was to find out teenagers’ opinion about the spread of violence at school, the reasons of violence and how the teenagers behave in certain situations. Quantitative type of the research has been performed. 175 schoolchildren of the 8"’ grade participated in the research. The research has revealed that teenagers at school often witness physical and emotional violence at school. The main reasons of violent behavior are: wish to gain authority among contemporaries; pleasure to demonstrate physical power; violence that the teenagers have experienced themselves; not knowing how to express feelings in other ways. The main reason why teenagers do not tell about the violence they are experiencing is fear of revenge. [From the publication]
