Bullying is frequent among students; it remains in force in educational institutions and is one of the worst experiences they can face. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the types, causes, effects and prevention methods of bullying in children and adolescents. We worked under the qualitative paradigm, phenomenological method and documentary review technique. The results show the types of bullying, its causes, effects and prevention methods according to the selected authors. It is concluded that victims and perpetrators have family backgrounds that are associated with factors such as authoritarian, overprotective parents, presence of domestic violence and/or lack of communication. It was also shown that it is a problem that is difficult to detect, that its victims tend to fail at school and develop health disorders, and that the perpetrators tend to incur in legal problems, so that policies are required to intervene in its prevention.

Keywords : Bullying; Bullying prevention; students.
