The purpose of this study was to assess teachers' understanding of the phenomenon of bullying and bullying-victim students' experiences in three public sector secondary schools in Gilgit, GB, Pakistan. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview and informal interactions with four teachers and three students. Teachers knew bullying as violence inflicted upon weaker students by older students. They seemed to be unsure of what includes 'bullying'. Resultantly, Rules and regulations at school with regard to bullying were also unclear. Many behaviors defined as 'bullying' in literature were ignored and accepted as a common form of behavior among school children. Parents' education level and social status indicated a relationship with bullying behavior. The victims, usually unheard of, also mentioned that they were teased by bullies more frequently, threatened with different types of further abuse if they reported to teachers or parents. They felt afraid, stressed, demotivated, felt low self-esteem, depressed. It is recommended that bullying should be curbed from the very beginning whenever noticed. Explicit strategies and their promulgation within the school should be in place.
