Abstract
Bullying appears as one of the most distinct social phenomena at prese nt. It limits human rights and deforms substantially interpersonal rel ations. It belongs to socio-pathogenetic events similarly as alcoholis m and toxicomanics, often preceding criminal engagement. It is observe d mainly in social complexes, where the leader's authority is not full y exerted and where an uncontrolled space is allowed in the organisati on for bullying activities of individuals. The system of values of ind ividuals or a group exerts the negative influence whenever different f orms of aggression are taken as normative. According to the results, o ne half of respondents has already met some Form of bullying during th eir life. Although more than 80% of them consider bullying as an impro per humiliating behaviour, 50% only accept the position of active acto rs against it, The rest behaves indifferently - passively. This fact s hould be considered as starting point for the activities of the majori ty of educational workers.
