Bullying is usually taken to be a subset of aggressive behavior, characterized by repetition and an imbalance of power. The behavior is repetitive, that is a victim is targeted a number of times. Also, the victims cannot define themselves easily, for one or more reason: they may be outnumbered, be smaller or less physically strong, or be less psychologically resilient, than the person doing the bullying. The present study focused on the menace of bullying in the form of peer victimization and its psychological correlates (loneliness and depression) emphatically. The sample consisted of 200 school students, 100 (50 male and 50 female) from government schools and other 100 (50 male and 50 female) from private schools. The age range was 10 to 14 years and children were taken from some schools of Jammu region. All the participants were selected using purposive sampling technique and the assessment tools were, The Multidimensional PeerVictimization Scale (Mpv) developed and validated by Mynard and Joseph (2000), Loneliness and social Dissatisfaction Scale by Asher and Wheeler's (1985) and The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (Ces-Dc) developed by Weissman ,Orvaschel ,& Padian (1980). Mean, S.D, t-test and Correlation were used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between Government and Private school children in terms of total scores obtained on the peer victimization, loneliness and depression.
