Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of common bullying behaviors on learners' well-being at Indanan National High School in the Division of Sulu. Utilizing a descriptive-exploratory research design and quantitative methods, data were collected from 100 learner respondents through purposive sampling. The study's questionnaire consisted of two parts: Part I gathered personal information, while Part II assessed the prevalence of common bullying behaviors. Statistical tools included frequency and percentage for demographic data, along with weighted mean and standard deviation to evaluate bullying behaviors and their impact. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to identify differences in bullying behaviors based on demographic profiles, while Pearson product-moment correlation assessed the relationship between bullying behaviors and learners' well-being. Findings revealed that more than half of the respondents were female, with the majority aged 15 or younger, primarily from families earning P5,000.00 or less monthly. Physical bullying was moderately evident, while verbal, social, and cyber bullying were less prevalent. Cyber bullying had a minimal impact on learners’ intellectual and academic well-being. No significant differences were found in bullying behaviors or their impact based on demographic factors such as gender, age, parents' education, or income. However, there was a very high positive correlation between common bullying behaviors and their impact on learners' well-being.
