To understand how violence gestates among young people at school, a qualitative study carried out at a public secondary school considered various factors: the institution’s role with regard to the problem of violence, measures taken in violent situations among students, and the causes of violence at school. Since we believe that the causes are at the center of the problem, we turn to family, social and school aspects that influence students’ behavior. Our purpose is to find elements to explain the origin of this type of conduct.

Keywords : school violence; secondary education; young people; social setting; family influence; Mexico.
