Abstract To explore the influence of bullying behavior on middle school students’ friendship network, and the role of peer status, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 721 middle school students （318 girls）, the data was modeled by exponential random graph models of social network analysis method. The results showed that: （1） Bullying behavior affected the formation of friendship networks within class, students with similar levels of bullying were more likely to become friends; （2） Peer status affected the sender and receiver effects of friendship networks based on bullying behavior, without controlling for peer status effects, students with higher levels of bullying tended to send and receive more friendship nominations, while both effects were not significant after controlling for the influence of peer status. The research results can provide important basis for the prevention of bullying from the perspective of group interaction.
