This study focuses on how students in ninth grade at a Sweden school experience the security of their high school. Which factors affect safety the most and whether there is any difference between how girls and boys view security. The study is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach and the empirical data was collected through semi-structured group interviews with a total of 10 students. To analyze our results, we have chosen to use Scheff's social bonds, Bourdieu's social capital and Foucault's analysis of panopticon. The results showed that the interviewees perceive the general security at their school as good, but that there are situations that are uncomfortable and groups that contribute to an unsafe environment. Furthermore, it turned out that a strong unity, good relations with staff and classmates as well as camera surveillance were seen as security-creating factors.
