Abstract

Violence in schools is the biggest threat that forces children to immerse themselves in the so-called “triangle of violence: aggressor, victim and viewer” (Oleweus, 1998). School violence is defined as “everything that occurs in school system. It can be against students, teachers o private property. Violent acts take place at school” (Serrano 2005). In Honduras, the information about school violence, topic of this research, is not alarming and not because it does not occur with significant regularity, but the statistics and research are inadequate. Usually cases of school violence that are recorded are those who become youth news or scandal. Honduran society is on the lookout for more cases that arise on school violence, a social phenomenon whose tendency lends to the limited information that teachers and parents and even worse the same students, adding further to the situation, the lack of information recording studies on the subject have been made. What is really clear is that school violence is already part of daily life in young students in our schools.
