              <text>The aim of the present study was to investigate the nature and prevalence of bullying among&#13;
primary school pupils in Nkayi South Circuit in Matabeleland North Province in Western Zimbabwe.&#13;
The population comprised of all the 300 teachers in Nkayi South Circuit. Random sampling was&#13;
used to arrive at a sample of 30 teachers from ten schools. The study adopted the descriptive&#13;
survey design and the questionnaire was used for collecting data. The main findings of the study&#13;
revealed that the most common forms of bullying were physical (that is, fighting, punching, hitting),&#13;
verbal (that is, threatening, swearing, teasing) social (that is, deliberately leaving out of a game or&#13;
group, ignoring). The study also revealed that boys were the main contributors of bullying. The&#13;
findings also revealed that the bullying behaviours were influenced by home based factors, peers and school based factors. The study recommends that schools should encourage teachers to&#13;
engage all children in productive work all the time and also liaise with parents on best ways of&#13;
guiding the behaviour of pupils who exhibit characteristics of bullies</text>
