摘要：Bullying behaviour is no doubt becoming a common feature and a nightmare in schools both in and outside Nigeria. It is a worrisome practice in schools because it infringes on the child’s right to human dignity, privacy, freedom and security. The physical, emotional and educational consequences of bullying behaviour can never be underestimated.This paper therefore endeavour to further bring into context the bullying behaviour in school, the characteristics of bullies and their victims and the psychosocial and psychological effects on the victims. Thereafter, intervention and specific counselling strategies were offered. With the hope that when fully adopted, educators and other stake holders can begin to address the problems of bullying and may encourage a zero bullying tolerance within and outside the school community. Key words : Bullying, gender, psychological implications, counselling interventions.
