Abstract

School age is a vulnerable phase when developmental needs are changing. Peer groups become more important and increase in social interaction among school students possibly
having a detrimental effect on wellbeing. Adolescents who were bullied tended to report having low levels of self-esteem, feeling less connected to their peers, teachers, and schools, and being less motivated to perform well at school. The study followed descriptive research design. The study was conducted among school students in different school of South India. The tools used for the study were Survey of school bullying scale with 16 statements development by Espelage & Holtz (2001), and school climate inventory with 23 statements by Marjorie Beld, Jesse & Roest (2015). Product moment correlation, t test and measures of the central tendency were used for data analysis. The results show that there is a negatively significant difference between school bullying and school climate. Bullying is a serious problem in many schools and there seems to be no one single solution. However, that the social context and supervision of the school play a major role in the frequency and severity of bullying problems. Bullying can be significantly reduced through comprehensive, schoolwide programs designed to change group norms and improve school climate.
