    Bullying
    (UMT.Lahore, 2020) AYESHA AFZAL; FARHAL EJAZ –
    The study has been conducted to understand the involvement and identifying the relationship between bullying, stress and mental health among young adults. Bullying causes an extensive impact on mental health of young adults whether they are in schools, colleges or even in universities. It was hypothesised that A) There is likely to be a relationship between bullying and stress and mental health among young adults. B) There is likely to be a relationship between demographic variables, bullying, stress and mental health. C) There is likely to be a predictive role of bullying from stress and mental health among young adults. There are different studies that have been conducted previously which show that bullying can cause a change of behaviour in young adults also leaves an impact on their mental health (Alsaker, & Valkanover, 2001). Correlational Research Strategy is used to chiefly inspect the relationship between Bullying, Stress and Mental Health in youth. Perceived stress scale, Multidimensional Bullying Victimization Scale (MBVS) and mental health inventory scale were used in assessment protocols. The results revealed that stress and mental health emerged as significant positive predictor of bullying. In other words, bullying is strongly predicted by stress and mental health. If young adults are bullied, they are likely to have stress and mental health. The results also indicate that children with depressive symptoms and anxiety are at increased risk of being victimized.
