Abstract

The present research study focused on the topic of school violence and examined its effects on the social and emotional well-being of students. Through this review, various forms of school violence were exploited, including verbal, physical, psychological, and sexual harassment, as well as its possible causes and factors that influence this harassment. The general objective of the problem raised is to analyze the social repercussions generated by school violence in 4th and 5th grade students of Basic General Education. This study focused on qualitative methodology using data collection techniques through observation, field diaries and semi-structured interviews by teachers, DECE psychologist and the principal. Through these techniques, relevant information was collected on the incidence of school violence and the social repercussions that occur in students. The findings revealed that school violence is negatively associated with students' social well-being, contributing to anxiety, depression, and decreased academic performance or in other cases even death. In addition, incident factors that cause violence are identified, such as the social context in which they are found and parental negligence. This study not only contributes to the academic understanding of school violence, but also to the importance of facing and preventing the violence to which they are exposed, promoting the academic and emotional growth of students.
