title: [Bullying and its association with psychiatric disorders in a Mexican students sample].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the relationship between bullying behavior and psychopathology.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 1 092 students identified their peers' bullying status based on the Bull-S questionnaire. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) to determine psychopathology levels.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The bullying group had associations with anxiety, somatic symptoms, oppositionalism and behavior problems; the bully-victims group had associations with attention, oppositionalism and behavior problems; victims had higher anxiety scores.These differences were significant compared with the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bullying is associated with psychopathology, which requires timely psychiatric attention.
