Incidents of bullying among teenagers nowadays are becoming more prevalent, mostly involving school students. This behaviour needs to be curbed to prevent annoyance to the victim, leading to depression, anxiety, and stress. Immediate action should be taken to approach and deepen the bullying victims through appropriate counselling modules to be rehabilitated from a further hit by various internal problems. Therefore, this study aims to verify the Trauma-Focused - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Group Counselling Module (TF-CBTGC). This module touches on three main aspects: depression, anxiety, and stress among bullying victims. There are six experts have been appointed to review and verify the modules developed. Besides, 34 students who were victims of bullying were identified to assist in the module reliability measurement process. The study results showed that the developed module has high validity and reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.952. This module's development can benefit victims of bullying among students to improve the quality of self-management and reduce their depression, anxiety, and stress. This module can allow the victim of bullying to choose the appropriate techniques, especially when facing real situations with bullies.

Background: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. It is also one the most challenging to treat. Depression can negatively contribute to and severely impact an adolescent's life if left untreated. This study aims to identify the level of depression among adolescent male and female, as well as the factors causing depression and the coping mechanism used by adolescents suffering from depression. Methods: In this study, 97 (N=97) Form 4 students (16 years old) were employed as the samples of the study. The BDI inventory, DASS instrument, and structural interview method were used to determine the factors of depression and the coping mechanism used by adolescent. T-test was used to determine the significant difference between the level of depression among male and female adolescents. Results: The findings from DASS show that 1% of teenage school students (n=1/97) experience normal level of depression (score 0-5), 12.3% experience mild depression (score 6-7) (N=12/97), 62.8% experience moderate level of depression (score 8-10), 20.6% experience severe level of depression (score 11-14) (n=20/97), and 3% experience extremely severe level of depression (more than 14) (n=3/97).The findings from BDI also shows that 40.2% of the adolescents (n=39/97) experience mild depression (score 20-39) and 59.8% of them experience moderate level of depression (score 40-59) (n=58/97). The findings reveal that the prevalance of depression is higher in female adolescents than in male adolescents. There is a trend of factors of depression and coping mechanism used by depressed adolescents. The findings also show that there is no significant difference in the mean score between male and female students. Conclusion: The findings suggest the state of depression among school students' adolescents and there is the need to respond to this state more urgently, noting the important role schools, school counselors, psychiatrists and parents can play to help out. Moving forward, there is a need for further research on the causes of depression to guide the development of more effective treatments.
