“…This result is consistent with several studies (Berger, 2007;Caravita et al, 2012;Cosma & Baban, 2013;Jansen et al, 2012;Khamis, 2015;Siann et al, 2006;Silva et al, 2013;Tayli, 2013;Wang et al, 2009;Wu et al, 2015). In addition, the study also supports previous literature that says boys were more victimized by their fellow boys than girls being victimized by girls (Shujja et al, 2014).…”

“…When compared to prevalence rate of victimization in studies in other countries, it was either a lot higher (Shujja et al, 2014;Wu, et al, 2015), lower (Siziya et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2009) or just at par (Kubwalo et al, 2013;Owusu et al, 2011).…”

“…With regard to gender differences in school bullying experience, several studies have shown that boys were more involved as perpetrators and victims than do girls (Berger, 2007;Caravita, Gini, & Pozzoli, 2012;Cosma & Baban, 2013;Jansen et al, 2012;Khamis, 2015;Siann, Callaghan, Glissov, Lockhart, & Rawson, 2006;Silva et al, 2013;Tayli, 2013;Wang et al, 2009;Wu et al, 2015) and were more likely to be victims of direct form of bullying such as physical fights (Cheng et al, 2010;Jansen et al, 2012;Lai et al, 2008;Shujja et al, 2014;Silva et al, 2013;Uwusu et al, 2011) while girls were more likely to experience relational bullying (Cheng et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2013).…”

This research looked into prevalence rate of bullying victimization and perpetration as well as teachers' response to bullying incidence in the Philippines. A total of 340 sixth graders from five different schools in Western Visayas participated in the study. Slightly more than half (54.1%) of the sample were boys and 45.9% were girls. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data gathered from the survey. Children's self-reports revealed that prevalence rate for victimization was 40.6% and that for perpetration was 23.8%. Similar to previous literature, results also showed that there were significantly more boys than girls who reported to be victims (χ verbal reprimands, temporary removal from class, withdrawal of privileges, and suspension, which were imposed on individuals involved in bullying as bullies. Although all teachers and school personnel were required to report bullying cases they had knowledge of to the child protection committee in their institution, very few did so. These findings suggest the need for a more effective bullying prevention program and a careful examination of the implementing rules and guidelines of RA 10627, otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.

“…11 Previous evidence reported that adolescents who were involved in bullying in any capacity, including victims, perpetrators, and those who are both victims and perpetrators (i.e., bully-victims), were at a higher risk of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. 12,13 Additionally, some studies reported that both bullying others and being bullied have emerged as the most influential factor for suicidal behaviors, 14,15 but this association has not been confirmed by other studies. 13,16 Evidence suggested that boys were more likely to be bullies, and girls were more involved as victims.…”

Background: Suicide has become the leading cause of death among 15-34 years old in China, and more attention should be paid to risk factors and prevention of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. The school-based survey was conducted to test the associations of bullying behavior with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, and to assess whether the biological gender can moderate these associations. Methods: A multistage stratified cluster sampling method was used to recruit participants from high schools in Guizhou, China, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted. Results: A total of 23,392 students were included in the analysis, and 45.4% were boys. The mean age of the students was 15.2 (SD: 1.9) years. Overall, 3.8% (882) of the students were victims, 4.9% (1144) were bullies, and 3.2% (736) were bully-victims. A total of 18.9% of students reported having suicidal ideation, and 3.9% reported having suicide attempts. Victims (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.15, 95% CI=1.84-2.51), bullies (AOR=3.17, 95% CI=2.78-3.62), and bully-victims (AOR=3.18, 95% CI=2.71-3.73) were at an elevated risk of suicidal ideation than neutrals; similar associations can be found in the associations between bullying behavior and suicide attempts. Further stratification analyses showed that the associations of being bullied or bullying others with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts were slightly stronger in girls than in boys. Conclusion: Prevention or intervention programs are recommended to take the biological gender into consideration, and future studies are also warranted to investigate the reasons of differences by gender in the association of bullying and suicidal behavior.

“…Studies conducted in various countries revealed a bullying prevalence of 8%-75% in schools (5,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). In a meta-analysis on bullying prevalence with an overall sample of 335.519 youth (12-18 years), the authors found a mean prevalence of 35% for traditional bullying (16).…”

This study was conducted to determine the types, frequencies and the affecting factors of peer bullying among 6 th , 7 th , and 8 th grade students of secondary schools in a city center in Cappadocia. Materials and Methods: A total of 3.059 students were attending secondary schools in a city center and this study sample consists of 1.288 students. Prior to the study, approval from the ethical council and institute, as well as written consent from students and their families were obtained. Data were collected via individual information forms and the Traditional Peer Bullying scale by the researcher through face-to-face interviews and the data obtained were evaluated by chi-square, single, and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results: It was determined that the mean age of the students was 12.81±0.93 years, of them 51.7% were girls, 12.0% did bullying, 15.9% were exposed to bullying, 52.1% were exposed to verbal bullying, and 13.4% were exposed to physical bullying. Multiple logistic regression revealed that the most important factors affecting the bullying of other students were family structure, attitude towards school, and gender; those factors affecting exposure to bullying were attitude toward school, body mass index, and economical status. As the age of the students increased by one year, the likelihood of bullying increased by 1.2 times. Boys were bullied 1.5 times more than girls, and the students of separated parents were bullied 2.7 times more than those whose parents stayed together (p<0.05). Conclusion: As bullying within schools is an important problem, it may be advisable to take into account the factors affecting bullying (age, gender, economic situation, family structure, attitude toward school, etc.) when conducting studies to prevent bullying in schools.
