Addressing this issue can create a safer and more supportive school environment, improve academic achievement, and enforce effective policy.

Using a descriptive correlational design and multi-stage sampling technique, researchers collected data from 416 high school students: 184 12th graders and 232 13th graders utilizing the data collection method of a questionnaire, and the data collection instrument was a questionnaire sheet with the Adolescent Peer Relations instrument type. Statistical analysis involved frequency count, arithmetic mean, and chi-square test. The results found that there were significant age-related differences in bullying and victimization patterns among the junior and senior high school students studied.
