N2  - The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of bullying among Cyprus elementary and high school students. The participants were 1645 students of both levels that completed the Revised Bullying and Victimization Questionnaire. The results show that 5.4% of the children are involved in such incidents as uniquely bullies, 7.4% of the children as uniquely victims, and 4.2% as bully/victims. In total, 17% of the Greek-Cypriot children are involved in some form of bullying and victimization. While boys are significantly more involved in bullying there are no significant differences in victimization. Age comparisons show that older boys are also more significantly involved in bullying but there are no age differences in victimization.
