Abstract
This study investigated the influence of parent<li bonding and bullying on adolescents mental well-being. Participants were 370 secondary school students randomlv selected from four secondary schools in Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State. Of the 370 participanb 20lJ (56.5%) were males while 269 (73.4°/.)) were females. Participants' mean age was 16.6 (±3.25). Data were collected using structured questionnaires consisting of widely-used and empirically validated measures of the variables of study. Results indicated that age (r = -.14; p<.05), sex (r = -.15; p <.OS), and bullying (r = -.35; p<.01) were significantly but negativelv related to paternal bonding. Results further indicated that onlv paternal bonding (r = .14; p<.05) was significantly related lo mental well-being. In other words, the greater the adolescent's paternal bonding the better his/her mental well-being, and . vice versa. Interestingly, bullying was not associated with mental well-being (r = -.05; p>.05). Also, maternal bonding was not significantly associated with mental well-being (r = - .02: p>.05). These results were discussed and the need measures a1med at enhancing adolescents' well-being as well as the need for more research in the area was highlighted
