Objective Determining the prevalence of bullying and its related factors amongst students from a high school in Cali, Colombia, 2011. Material and Methods This was a cross-sectional study involving sixth to ninth grade students attending a private school in Santiago de Cali. Cisneros' scale was used for assessing bullying in this population. Multivariate analysis was used with logistic regression to control confusing variables Results 198 students were included whose mean age was 12.86 (SD=1.31) years old; 50.5 % of the students were female (49.5 % male) and it was found that 20.3 % of the students had been bullied. A significant association was found amongst those being bullied and those suffering mild or severe family dysfunction and anxiety symptoms. Conclusions Bullying was frequent amongst sixth to ninth grade students from this school and it could have been related to the presence of mild or severe family dysfunction and clinically significant anxiety symptoms. Further research is needed to validate these results.
