In recent years, educators and researchers are more interested in physical and psychological violence incidents that occur among children. Many research conducted in different countries have focused on bullying, which is a violent act. Bullying is defined as “repeated intentional harmful actions of one or more students toward another student”. Research shows that a considerable percent of children are bullied by their peers and bullying problems have been increasing over time and becoming more dramatic. Besides an increase in bullying incidents at schools, there are new forms, such as cyberbullying. Bullying has many negative impacts on children. To resolve bullying problems among children, School-wide Bullying Intervention Model (SBI) is proposed and clarified along with the following steps of the model: 1- Awareness 2- Planning 3- Action at School 4- Action at Classroom 5- Cooperation among Children 6- Collaboration among Children, Parents & School Personnel 7- Individual Therapy SBI model aims to create a safe school environment and encourage empathy development among children by getting participation from all school personnel, parents and children. SBI model is a holistic model and aims to deal with bullying problems progressively from the environmental level (e.g., whole schoolcommunity awareness) to the individual level (e.g., individual therapy). Key Words : Bullying; school-wide bullying intervention model (sbi); violence at schools.
