The purpose was building social representations, which come from violence and its expressions, and are owned by Venezuelan schools’ students. Research supported in a complementarity of methods. The socials actors from this study are 97 students, from ages between 6 and 13 years old, of 4 schools in the Municipio Libertador,Caracas. The results indicate that social representations of home violence are centered in physical and oral mistreatment, coactions, addiction to alcoholic substances and of other, in the school, violence reproduction is manifested in the way teachers treat students; between peers, aggressions. The associations built by the child come from his personal, social and from its family’s history; thus the auto concept appears from each one of them, rejection to the color of their skin, some parts of their body: eye color and type of hair. As a reflection: the supposals about violence go around children’s living experience, students violent behaviors are expression of the social interactions reproduced in the family as well as in the school.
