Abstract
Analyses of samples (N=54,662 female; N=53,111 male) of fifth to eleventh grade students revealed sex differences in prediction of suicidality by bullying victimization and internalizing symptoms. Being bullied and internalizing symptoms had main effects for both males and females, but the interaction of those variables was only meaningful for females.
