FERNANDES, Grazielli; YUNES, Maria Angela Mattar and FINKLER, Lirene. Perception of School Adolescents about the Relationships between Domestic Violence and Bullying. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.36, pp.153-168. ISSN 1519-549X.
This study aimed to know the perception of adolescents from a public school in the metropolitan region of Rio Grande do Sul about the relationships between domestic violence and bullying. It is a qualitative study that was based on Reflexive Interview as the methodological approach. By means of two previous stages, eight students were selected as participants, who declared that they suffered domestic violence and were authors and /or targets of bullying. Results indicated that adolescents perceive the association between school and family microsystems from the experiences of violence. Being victims of domestic violence, some become targets of bullying because they show fragility; others, authors, by following the negative examples or directing anger to their peers. These findings highlight the need to implement intervention projects and public policies to combat this violence, which associate schools and families.
