The objective of the research was to identify the adolescents involved in situations of bullying and the impact of this psychosocial phenomenon on their self-esteem. A non-probabilistic sampling was used, as a non-experimental type with a quantitative approach. The sample was composed of 261 students corresponding to all high school levels between the ages of 13 and 18 of both sexes, from a single educational institution. In the data collection the scales of the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire were used for the identification of victims and aggressors and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale for the assessment of the self-esteem. The investigation revealed that 31.8% of the adolescents were victim, 5.7% aggressors and 9.6% of victimized aggressors. The male sex was more frequently involved than the female in victimization behaviors and verbal harassment was the predominant typology. As for the adolescents' self-esteem, an upward trend (positive aspects) could be evidenced, with the aggressors who presented lower levels of positive self-esteem. In conclusion, the general self-esteem of students in situations of bullying is positive regardless of whether they are victims, aggressors, or bystanders, evidencing a high level of personal satisfaction.
