In this study, middle school students' tendencies of bullying and victimisation in terms of their gender, grade and the violent events taking place at and around the school were examined. The study group consists of 429 students, 210 (49%) of whom are female and 219 (51%) are male. Students with different socio-economic status were attending to 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Data were collected through the latest form of "Traditional Peer Bullying Scale" and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers. The data were analyzed through t-test, one-way analysis of variance and "Tukey’s Test".  The levels of bullying with respect to the grade level showed no significant difference. On the other hand, significant differences were observed with regard to gender and violence in and around the school. In addition, the varience of being a victim of violence in and around the schools makes a significant difference in their level of being victims. Whereas, it has been found out that the variences of grade level and gender didn’t make any differences.
