The repeated abuse of power by an individual or a group over others is recognized as bullying. An investigation was conducted with the aim of comparing bullying across two groups of secondary school students from two educational institutions in the Coastal Region of Ecuador. Adopting a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design, the study involved 283 students (160 from school I and 123 from school II). Data were collected using the School Bullying and Violence Scale. The analysis revealed statistically significant differences in the factors of intimidation and social exclusion (p=0.000). Furthermore, significant differences were found in the dimensions of flashback and negative self-image (p=0.000). The predominant means for both bullying factors and health-related impact fell within the “verified” and “well-verified” categories. Overall, significant differences were identified between the two groups.
