This research has surveyed teenagers of their exposure to domestic violence and giving of school violence. Hence has analyzed and proven the relationship between teenagers` exposure to domestic violence and school violence. Subjects were 295 first and second graders of middle school students in Gang-Won province, Gang-Neung city. Among 295questionnaires, 293 were used as the other 2 were illegible. Firstly, subjects` exposure to domestic violence was 30.4%, meaning that 3 out of 10 households are experiencing domestic violence. Taking a look at witnessing parents` quarrel and suffering from parents` violence, the number of cases of lingual/emotional violence was shown to be much larger than that of physical violence. Secondly, lingual/emotional violence was the most when it came to being a school violence abuser, followed by physical violence, ostracizing, fleecing other students of money and other valuable objects, and bullying. One thing that should be focused on is that 73% of subjects replied that they use lingual/emotional violence, showing that most of teenagers are using this form of violence without realizing it. Also, the survey showed that 3 out of 10 students exercise physical violence to other students. Thirdly, the study showed that witnessing parents` quarrel is highly relative with the five different types of school violence mentioned above. Furthermore, students who have suffered from their parents` violence are very likely to exercise school violence such as lingual/emotional violence, fleecing other students of money and other valuable objects and bullying. Therefore, it can be concluded that teenagers` exposure to domestic violence highly affects the teenagers` exercise of school violence. Through this study, it can be concluded that efforts such as parental education that may strengthen the family relationship and social enlightenment that domestic violence may descent down generations are needed in order to prevent and reduce the number of domestic violence and school violence. Also, tolerance limit towards the violent culture is a key factor that affects the domestic and school violence. Hence, education of individual`s rights at home and school will be a huge stepping stone for teenagers to become apt citizens for today`s society; democratic citizens.
