Abstract
This study explored the underlying thoughts of victims of school bullying through analysis of their drawings.
 Eighty senior secondary students (studying in classes 9 to 11) identified as victims based on the Illinois
 Victimization Scale participated in the study. Participants drew their victimization experiences and provided
 elaborations of their drawings. Analysis of participants’ responses involved the framework method. Results
 showed that thoughts of bullied participants were related to the (1) outcomes of being victimized (2) dealing
 with the bullies, and (3) the reason for bullying. The participants evinced various thoughts related to direct or
 indirect coping, victim-related reasons, and bully related reasons as gauged by their drawings. The findings
 of this study were interpreted in the light of developmental-ecological framework and research. The article
 indicates implications for future research and professionals to help the victims of school bullying.
