Background and Objective: Bullying is a serious type of antisocial behavior that mainly takes place during school years. Reports are abundant indicating that experiencing bullying – as a victim, perpetrator, or bystander – can have negative consequences, affecting also physical health. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bullying victimization and its associated factors in Brazilian teenagers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 291 Brazilian students, aged between 11 to 17 years old (M = 14,7, SD = 1,5). Most of the participants reported being female (57,7%). Data was collected at different public schools in a major metropolitan area in Southern Brazil using self-reported questionnaires. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (v. 23) was used for data analysis. Phi (φ) was adopted for measuring the effect size in the 2 x 2 contingency tables. Results: The prevalence of bullying victimization was 43% (95% CI: 37 – 49%). Among the school variables, only the question about school climate was significantly linked with bullying victimization (X2 (1, N=275) = 8,26, p =0 .004; φ =0 .17). Differences in gender and age group (such as younger vs. older adolescents) were not significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of bullying victimization found in this study is aligned with estimates from several other countries, thus indicating that bullying is a rather frequent experience for school-aged students. Moreover, the association between school climate and higher self-reported occurrence of bullying victimization emphasizes the multifactorial nature of this type of antisocial behavior, although the magnitude of the effect was in the weak to moderate range. Finally, the results indicating no gender and age groups differences are mixed in the literature and deserved further research.
