Bullying is a global problem that affects many students and is characterized by violence between educational peers. It is associated with violent behavior, family factors, substance use and situations that threaten social integrity, which tends to be the product of the teaching of values within family relationships or various states of domestic violence that affect their behavior. The aim of this project was to explore the consequences of bullying on students' academic performance, as well as the level of stress they experience and address intervention strategies to prevent its impact. Previous studies and relevant theories on the subject were reviewed. The justification for this research is based on its relevance as a problem that affects all social strata and has negative consequences on academic performance due to the magnitude of aggressions. Measurement instruments were developed to assess bullying and anonymized and confidential data were collected through a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of students from different educational institutions. The results of this study provided a greater understanding of how bullying affects students' academic performance.
