Objectives To explore the current situation on bullying in Abu Dhabi using SWOT analysis
Methodology Focus group discussion (FGDs) with representative policymakers and stakeholders were done to explore their experiences and knowledge about the bullying, using strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats model at social and environmental levels. All the data was kept confidential. The audio recorded FGDs were transcribed word by word and were checked repeatedly in order to avoid the biases. Using the inductive and deductive analysis pattern codes were created from transcriptions, then were arranged into categories and finally four themes were generated. All the data analysis was done manually.

Lack of pre-cooked clout-(Weaknesses), 3).
