This study investigates the relation between cyberBullying and traditional Bullying (in school). In previous research it has been argued that one should separate cyberBullying and traditional Bullying both in definitional and measurements issues. However, in Swedish school, there are no marked differences between the two forms of Bullying, teachers are responsible to prevent them both. The research is based on 3925 students in years 3-9 (1950 girls and 1975 boys) in 19 schools in the Gothenburg region and two from the Stockholm region. The students have taken a digital survey at school, regarding both traditional and cyber Bullying.

The purpose of this study was to highlight cyber-Bullying and its place in today?s schools. Our aim was to research how schools with Bullying prevention programs are equipped to handle and take action against cyber-Bullying. Furthermore this study focuses on whether or not schools are responsible for cases of cyber-Bullying. We also aimed to present teachers? general views and knowledge regarding this phenomenon.

Bullying is something that is often times talked about in relation to school, in spite of that it's still something that is a very common problem. It is also rarely ever clearly defined, and is subject to a heap of different definitions. In order to prevent something, we must first understand it, and therefore define it. With that the purpose of this study is to examine swedish preschool-teachers definitions of Bullying. How do they define Bullying? Do their definitions differ from one another?The investigation was qualitative and used qualitative interview methods to interview four pre-school teachers about their deifnitions of Bullying.

My purpose in this work was to find out how staff in a middle sized school uses its local Equal treatment plan in its work against Bullying. But also to see how the use of a standardized anti-Bullying program works to prevent Bullying. I have interviewed the principal, teachers, and what we in Sweden call a ?fritidspedagog? and the members of the anti-Bullying team to get answers to my questions.  The conclusion of this study is that the school follow and work according to what the Equal treatment plan states, both in terms of prevention, as in working with actual Bullying cases. The school has also followed the National School Agency's recommendations on what should be the local Equality plan, but also to follow up and revise it each year. The interview shows that the staff at the school placed great emphasis on talking and discussing with students about how to behave towards each other, they also brought up things that happened at one time and talked about this. The staffs were very committed to work towards the prevention of Bullying and the same was true with the school's headmaster.

What does the children think about who has the main responsibility for stopping Bullying?The method I have used in the essay is individual interviews with principals, welfare officers and teachers from two schools.My results show that the schools have different ways of handling Bullying, and different forms of cooperation within the staff. One school have active students in the work against Bullying in the form of classmate support (kamratstödjare). The social worker is used in different ways in the work against Bullying.
