Moreover, social support-friend was prominent factors on resilience. However, no significant relationship between social support-family and resilience among adolescents with bullying victims after controlling for confounding factors; (4) Conclusion: The study found that coping and social support-friends are strengthening determinants, particularly those aimed at improving resilience among adolescents with bullying victims.
