“…More than three quarter of the respondents affirms that SH can take place anywhere, a victim or perpetrator can be any gender, can have psychological effect on the victim and perpetrator does not have to be an opposite gender. Our findings are constant with existing literature where it was observed that majority of their respondents agreed that SH can occur anywhere and does not have to be an opposite gender (Arya & Arya, 2019;Bendixen & Kennair, 2017;Espelage, Hong, Rinehart, & Doshi, 2016;Gewirtz-Meydan & Finkelhor, 2019); the perpetrator can be any gender and relatively someone the victim knows (AAUW, 2011). Similarly, it was also reported that the physiological effect of SH on victim is enormous which include their desire to discontinue their schooling while for others it increased their fear of being withdrawn especially if their peers or parents came to hear of any incident (Bendixen & Kennair, 2017;Goodman et al, 2020).…”
