Bullying is one of the most prevalent problems in schools, but its dimensions in physical education classes have not been addressed yet. Therefore, this study aimed to identify behavioral appearance of bullying and achieving manegement methods of bullying behavior by physical education teachers. Present study has been carried out in terms of a grounded theory by participation of 15 physical education teachers through theoretical and purposive sampling. Data collecting method has been done through semi structured in-depth interview, data analysis via data coding, Study validity through external inspector, validation by member. The findings of the study are extracted from interviews by using open and axial coding presented by Strauss and Corbin. The results show that although teachers and school principals are capable of conducting useful activities in order to prevent bullying, but schools, students and teachers can pave the way for bullying.
