It has been suggested that the mental health of schoolchildren can be undermined by repeated bullying at school and further exacerbated by having,:inadequate social support. To evaluate this claim, the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was administered anonymously to 845 adolescent schoolchildren attending coeducational secondary schools in South Australia, together with measures of the extent to which each reported bring bullied at school and the social support available:to them. Multiple regression analyses indicated that for both sexes frequent peer victimization and low social support contributed significantly and independently to relatively poor mental health.
