The aim of this study was to identify the behavior profile of schoolchildren victims of bullying and aggressors, comparing possible differences between sexes. Cross-sectional study with 200 students from both sexes, age 9 to 15. For data collection, a questionnaire with inquiries related to bullying was used. The data was analyzed using the SPSS v. 23.0, considering a significance level of p <0.05 and expressed in absolute and relative frequencies. In its entirety, there was a high percentage of schoolchildren who have already suffered some type of aggression (55,5%), having verbal as the main one (25,0%) and occurring mainly at school recess (27,5%). One boy was the most cited as an aggressor (25,5%). The findings indicate a high prevalence of school bullying for both victims and aggressors and thus highlights the need for social actions aimed at preventing aggressive acts and promoting school coexistence in a healthy and friendly manner.
