Abstract

In this article we studied the graffiti of schools. By content analysis we tried to understand the thoughts and values of both genders. The method of this research was content analysis. A boy’s school and a girl’s school were chosen by probability sampling. In next step, we took notes of the inscriptions and paintings of the desks. Finally, we categorized them based on their content and meaning and compared them based on gender. Four categories were the same in both schools: categories with the words and paintings related to opposite sex, insulting words, remembrance, and the names of the desk owners. In addition to these categories the categories of sport, computer, social and religious, secret words, and the names of cities existed in a boy’s school. The quantity of the written things was different in the schools. In boys school vandalism was more and in girls school paintings were more.
