Currently bullying cases are increasingly often spoken of but it has to be acknowledged that interest in this problems is taken more episodically, quite often reacting to resonant bullying cases. This demonstrates that the systemic approach is still missing, that the real scope of spread of bullying, its reasons, consequences have not yet been perceived and this aggravates possibilities to manage the situation. Prevention of bulling arising at school due to learning differences should be based on the learning and teaching system “Learning for Life”, grounded on self-directed learning and acknowledgement of the learner’s learning differences, characteristic to it, and not on the perception of differences as stigmatising shortcoming.
