Arrogance and aggressive behaviour occur more and more often in our lives. Especially at school there are observed negative attitudes of school youth. The aim of the study was to estimate the occurrence of aggressive behaviour among school youth towards teachers. Research based on questionnaires was carried out among 156 teachers (63.5% women and 36.5% men), aged 23-60 (mean 40 +/- 8.9) with time of employment ranking from 1-35 years (mean 14 +/- 9.2), working at vocational, technical and secondary schools as well as in the last classes of primary schools. Generally, aggressive behaviour more often occurs among school youth. It mainly includes verbal aggression, disrespectful attitude towards a teacher and refusal to follow his instructions. Other kinds of aggressive behaviour were observed rarely. More than half of the investigated persons did not feel distress at school, some of them only a little. The majority of subjects noticed the growing problem of negative behaviour among school youth during the last few years. Especially women defined their job as stressful and associated stress level with psychosomatic disorders (most often the increasing nervous stress and headache) they suffered from. Therefore, some teachers had to use tranquillizers to reduce stress level at work.
