The issue of school bullying is a pervasive global problem that results in the denial of education for millions of children and young adults (UNESCO, 2019a). The current investigation aimed to elucidate the association between victimization from bullying and antisocial conduct. A total of 314 students were involved in the study. The sample for the second part of the study on victims of bullying (n = 200) comprised 112 males and 88 girls, with ages ranging from 13 to 18 (mean age = 14.9, SD = 1.08). The study employed a purposive sampling technique, and the obtained data was subjected to statistical analysis utilizing Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis with the aid of SPSS software. The study results reveal that a significant proportion of adolescents, specifically 63.7% of participants, were subjected to victimization due to bullying for a minimum period of 1 month. This data underscores the presence of a substantial prevalence rate of bullying in India. The research moreover discovered a noteworthy correlation between victimization and the future display of antisocial conduct, encompassing physical violence, rule-breaking activities, and social aggression. The results of this study can contribute to the development of therapies aimed at preventing antisocial behavior and implementing timely interventions.
