Abstract
Introduction: Peer Victimization/Bullying is a regular phenomenon in schools worldwide, which is increasing in recent years and is now considered a public health problem that can have serious consequences in the well being of students. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of peer victimization and its effects in the well being of higher secondary school students. Method: This is a cross sectional study that includes students of XI and XII standards. A self-administered, semi-Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Chi square test used to compare categorical data. A p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of overall bullying was 92.4% and Verbal bullying (72.8%) was more common than physical bullying (36.4%). Majority of the students (71.90%) had been victims of bullying and boys were more likely to be bullied (p=<0.001) and bullying significantly affected the studies of the students (p = 0.015). Conclusion: The overall prevalence of bullying is very high and is a serious problem affecting studies in a huge proportion of the victims. Further research is needed to find out the underlying cause and associated factors so that appropriate interventions can be planned.
