D of 1.869 were drawn from the population of nine university (University of Benin, University of Ilorin, Enugu state university of Technology Agbani, Ladoke Akintola University Of Technology, Michael Okpara University of agriculture umudike, Lagos State University, University of Lagos, University of Nigeria Nsukka, Federal University of Petroleum Resources) and one college of Education (Yaba College of Technology) using multi-stage purposive and availability sampling techniques. Muhopilah et al. (2020) Bullying Scale and Mattick and Clark's (1998) Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) were used for data collection. An ANOVA design will be adopted because the researcher is examining how bullying influences social interaction. Thus, one-way ANOVA statistic with the aid of S.P.S.S version (23) package will be applied as a statistic to analyze the data to test the hypothesis. Findings indicate that bullying significantly influences social interaction, with a significance level of .037 at p < .05. As a result, school management, counselors, clinicians, and stakeholders must collaborate in developing targeted interventions aimed at addressing bullying behaviors.
