Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between various forms of bullying and school success among high school students in the Municipality of Prishtina, Kosovo. A total of 204 respondents from six different high schools participated in this research. The study focused on four primary forms of bullying: physical, verbal, social (emotional), racist, sexual, and cyberbullying, and how these experiences influence students’ academic performance, including grade point average (GPA), and attendance. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional research design, data were collected through a structured, self-administered questionnaire. The results revealed that verbal and social bullying were the most commonly reported forms, and these were significantly associated with lower academic achievement and reduced school engagement. Students exposed to frequent bullying, particularly social and cyber forms, showed a notable decline in motivation, classroom participation, and attendance. The findings emphasize the negative impact of bullying on academic outcomes and highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions in schools. The study concludes that addressing bullying in all its forms is essential for improving students' academic success and creating a safer, more supportive school environment in Prishtina.
