CZARNECKA, MARTYNA; ŻELAZKOWSKA, MARIOLA; TOUSSAINT, LOREN

Aggression and violence in the school environment are among the most serious problems a school must face. Aggression and violence often cause physical injuries and in extreme cases can lead to death, posing a great threat to the mental health of children and adolescents. Violence generates serious, diverse problems on many levels of human life. One problem becomes visible at the level of communication. Communication disorders are situations in which an individual has difficulty communicating with others. These can take the form of verbal aggression or arise from a lack of communication when, for example, a student adopts a passive attitude (which is associated with suppressing or not expressing emotions). It is difficult for a student with interpersonal communication problems to get his or her emotional needs met, such as the need for security, belonging, respect, acceptance, and setting realistic boundaries and expectations. Such a student uses non-adaptive communication strategies in relationships. The aim of this article is to present some problems that students experience with interpersonal communication disorders owing to the phenomenon of violence. The authors will also explore the challenges facing educators in the field of education for peace regarding the topic under discussion.
