Abstract
In recent years, there have been many cases of suicide resulting from bullying. While various measures have
been taken towards the problem of bullying, there is a need to discover signs of bullying early, and to take
appropriate measures. This study clarified (1) class group and rate of bullying in schools (2) class group and rate
of unchecked bullying by teachers. The results showed that according to class group, the occurrence of bullying
varied greatly, and those who are satisfied with school were bullied less, but controlling types, cooperative
types, and violent types, were bullied more. Also, in a comparison of whether a teacher was aware of a child’ s
bullying in children those who admitted to have been bullied, it became clear that for about half the controlling
type children in elementary and middle schools, the bullying went unnoticed, while for cooperative types, the
rate that bullying was overlooked by teachers was 70% in elementary schools, and 56% in middle schools. It is
considered that there is a great discrepancy in the way class teachers think bullying in class should be managed.
Accordingly, it is considered that importance will be given in the future to connecting proper class management
and handling of the problem of bullying with planned measures for the prevention of bullying, while promoting
a high level of class satisfaction as a result of the educational effect.
