Abstract
This study aims to look at the victimization of bullying, resilience, as well as the social and family support that adolescents of high schools in the municipality of Gjilan receive after dealing with bad or bullying situations. Through the realization of this study we aim to identify how present is the victimization of adolescents against bullying in high schools, how much they are resistant to those experiences they have gone through in their lives, as well as to identify from whom they receive support when they feel bullied or are victims of bullying, from family and social support, as well as their interconnectedness. The instrument used is the questionnaire divided into four sections such as: victimization, resilience, social support and family support questionnaire.
This study is correlational which was conducted with N = 200 participants, of which (N = 101 or 50.5%) participants were girls, while (N = 99 or 49.5%) were boys. The correlated results confirm that we have a positive and significant correlation between resilience and social support, as well as a positive correlation with family support. From the Chi-Square analysis, shows that both males and females are victims of bullying in the secondary schools of the municipality of Gjilan. In terms of resilience, the average of girls is 3.06, that is, higher than the average of boys 2.45. As for the gender differences in relation to bullying victimization, we see that the average of girls is 1.41, that is, higher than the average of boys 1.20.
