In our theoretical part we present general issues and the roles that different writers describe. We have chosen earlier research that addresses the roles that may emerge. This qualitative study is based on eight pedagogues? interview responses, which we have processed and analyzed. Our results and our analysis is presented in four categories; how to treat each other, pedagogues perception of bullying, how to work with bullying and roles. The results of this study have shown that if you as a pedagogue have an understanding of the roles that can occur, the work with bullying can possibly become easier. The results have also shown that the pedagogues? perceptions of the roles are similar to each other. Even how the pedagogues work with bullying, both in general and in prevention purposes, arise in our results. In the discussion we discuss, based on our previous research, pedagogues beliefs about bullying, their work with bullying and the roles that can occur. We conclude with our own thoughts and further research
