Results also show that bullying incidences are alarming in all countries and it requires strategic action plan to prevent it. Analysis also indicate that some school children experienced of bullying in all the six ASEAN countries. Although various prevention strategies have been proposed in the past, any preventive action strategies implemented are unique and may not always be effective in all situations in all cultures.
