This study investigates the relationship between school environment and behavioral problems in children, focusing on how various aspects of the educational setting such as teacher support, peer relationships, and school safety affect children’s behavior. Using a sample of 500 students across diverse socio-economic backgrounds, the research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. Findings indicate that positive school environments characterized by supportive teachers and strong peer relationships correlate with lower levels of behavioral problems. Conversely, environments perceived as unsafe or lacking in support are associated with increased instances of aggression and anxiety among students. The study underscores the importance of fostering a nurturing school climate to mitigate behavioral issues and promote healthy development in children.
