Objectives The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between school bullying and cyberbullying among tunisian adolescents.

This study was developed by the Child Psychiatry Department of Mongi Slim Hospital, (Tunis,Tunisia). Approval of the ethic commitee of the Hospital was obtained. Results The total number of participants in our study was 935 adolescents. The average age was 14.2 years with a slight female predominance (54%) and a sex-ratio of 0.85. The results revealed that 32 % of the students were victims of both cyber and traditional bullying, while 26 % of the students bullied others in both cyber and physical environments. Compared to female students, male students were more likely to be bullies and victims in both physical and cyber-environments.
