The paper aims to study both perceptions and attitudes, as well as bullying experiences in middle school and high school students, in urban areas (Drobeta Turnu Severin) and rural areas (Burila Mare, Vânători), Mehedinți County, given the differences in age, gender and background. A questionnaire was applied to 94 students, and the results show that 50% of respondents often or very often observe aggressive behaviour in their schools. The phenomenon is more frequent in the urban area, out of a total of 59.57% of respondents, 30.85% confessing that they observe such behaviour in school; among students aged between 15 and 17, females were most affected with a percentage that far exceeds the male gender.
