The findings indicate that anxiety is closely related to the psychological impact of bullying. Children reported feelings of fear, anxiety, and low self-esteem that disrupted their daily lives. In addition, social support from peers and family proved to be important in reducing their anxiety levels. This study also identified factors that influence anxiety levels, such as the frequency and type of bullying experienced. Children who experience physical bullying tend to show higher levels of anxiety than those who experience verbal bullying. This emphasises the need for appropriate intervention to address this issue. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that schools and parents raise awareness about the importance of a safe and supportive environment for children and implement bullying prevention programmes to support children's mental health. Thus, it is hoped that children can grow up better and reduce the negative impact of bullying. Overall, this study provides a clear picture of the anxiety experienced by children who are victims of bullying and the importance of appropriate handling to minimise the negative impacts caused. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for those involved in child protection and the development of effective policies
