This article discusses different proposals and results drawn from a long series of investigations aimed at preventing violence through education. The author refers in particular to research "Prevention of violence and the fight against exclusion from adolescence (Diaz-Aguado, Dir, 2004), whose specific data on bullying among school children included in this research, presenting data on the characteristics of this phenomenon, from the origin in their family context.

This research also describes the phenomenon of violence in schools, specific programs at peer harassment in which it is responding to the educational community, trying to sensitize teachers, parents and colleagues about the need not allow and create monitoring rules and clear sanctions against that situation. Cooperative learning in heterogeneous teams is an example of the type of action described here, and it shows through interviews with students before and after these actions.
