Bullying is a moral problem, a form of disrespect expressed by an intentional and repeated act ofintimidation or oppression, with physical and / or verbal aggression without apparent motivation,caused by one or more students, causing pain, distress, humiliation and discrimination against thevictim. This research analyzes the role of education professionals in this phenomenon byinvestigating their conceptions of bullying. The responses of participants in the extension course"Moral Development for Children", offered by Unesp in São José do Rio Preto, to the question"What is bullying?" served as basis for the mentioned analysis. All the subjects of the researchperceive the bullying as something disrespectful and that causes damage to the relations, even ifthey are only limited to some characteristics of the phenomena. It is important, however, thateducational professionals have more knowledge about how to intervene to promote theawakening of moral sensitivity in students.
