INTRODUCTION

SINCE THE EARLY 1990s THE SCHOOL IS NOT ONLY A PLACE

CHARACTERIZED BY LEARNING BUT AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE
STUDENTS ARE HARASSED AND EXPERIENCE PEER HARASSMENT
(JUVONEN, WANG, & ESPINOZA, 2011). BULLYING IS A SOCIAL PROBLEM,
AND ONE PERSON IN EVERY THREE INDIVIDUALS RANDOMLY SELECTED
HAS BEEN BULLIED PHYSICALLY, VERBALLY, AND SOCIALLY
(MISAWA,2010). BULLYING INFLUENCES BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE
PERPETRATOR AND MAY LED TO PRESENT AND LONG-TERM EFFECTS
(ALEEM,2016) BULLYING AND PEER VICTIMIZATION ALWAYS HAVE
EITHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT EFFECTS ON THE VICTIMS AND MAY
RESULT IN POOR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (HOLT,FINKELHOR,&
KANTOR, 2007). ACCORDING TO NISHINA, JUVONEN, AND WITKOW (2005),
SCHOOL HARASSMENT, PEER VICTIMIZATION, AND BULLYING HAVE
CONTRIBUTED TO A DECLINE IN CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND SCHOOL
ENGAGEMENT, WHICH TEND TO IMPACT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND
ACHIEVEMENT NEGATIVELY. A SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHRE STUDENTS
SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME ON GROWTH DEVELOPMENT (DARLING-
HAMMOND, FLOOK, COOK-HARVEY, BARRON & OSHER 2019). STUDENTS
THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY THEIR TEACHERS FEEL AN INCREASED SENSE
OF BELONGINGNESS, MORE ENGAGED, HAVE FEWER BEHAVIORAL
PROBLEMS, AND PERFORM BETTER IN THEIR ACADEMIC (KONISHI,
HYMEL, ZUMBO & LI, 2000). CONVERSELY, UNHEALTHY SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENTS HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON A STUDENTS ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT (STROM, 2013). ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AROUND THE
WORLD IS SIGNIFICANT FOR SCHOOLING, AND SEVERAL STUDIES ARE
BEING CARRIED OUT ON THE PHYSICAL FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT
EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE (STEINMAYR, CREDE, MCELVANY, &
WIRTHWEIN, 2016). EXRERNALIZING FACTORS, WHICH INCLUDE THEFT
AND VANDALISM AND OPPOSITIONAL PROBLEMS, AFFECTS STUDENTS
ACADEMIC.
