The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship among resilience, school attachment, peer-bullying levels and the extent to which the variables of school attachment and peer bullying levels contribute to the prediction of resilience. The study was carried out with 355 secondary school students in Ankara, 195 (%55) of which were girls, 160 (%45) which were boys.
