Bullying at schools is a widespread societal problem that adversely affects the mental health, academic performance, and personal development of children. This study investigated the dynamics of bullying by exploring its causes, its impact on victims and perpetrators, and the most effective strategies for its prevention in school settings. A quantitative approach was adopted for the research through which data from multiple academic sources were synthesised to provide a comprehensive picture of bullying within schools. Results identified various interconnected factors such as behavioural traits, upbringing, social pressure, and organisational policies and procedures contributing to bullying. Bullying may make victims lose their drive for education and social disinterest due to long-term psychological effects such as worry, hopelessness, and low self-esteem. Offenders who possess aggressive tendencies continuing into adult life are more likely to result in antisocial acts. The overall influence of bullying is to make the school atmosphere unconducive for learning and disrupt the educational experience of students. The problem needs to be addressed with anti-bullying programs, training for teachers, family involvement, and education. It is particularly important to maintain an inclusive, friendly school climate so that the incidences of bullying are reduced, and healthy relationships among students can be developed. Such tactics may help improve the health of students attending educational facilities and contribute to improving academic success that will eventually result in a more learning-conducive environment.
