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.
