Results: The findings of this study indicated that in some dimensions peer bullying scores vary depending on the number of siblings in the family, birth order, the educational status of the mother and father (p<0.01, p<0.05). Conclusions: Proposals for solution have been suggested in accordance with the results obtained in the study.
